Re: Lettuce

It really varies from facility to facility. If a patient's white count is low enough to warrant a neutropenic diet then we tend to err on the side of caution. Generally speaking, the duration should be fairly short as patients are often treated with colony stimulating drugs (neupogen, etc) or counts rebound on their own.
