| The average duration of cases of typhlitis without suppuration ranges from fourteen to twenty-one days. |
| The reported incidence of typhlitis has depended on whether clinical signs or autopsy findings were used as criteria for diagnosis. |
| Treatment of typhlitis with G-CSF has already been reported, and formal clinical trials are warranted. |
| Outpatient monitoring and treatment of patients with typhlitis is not feasible because they require bowel rest and IV administration of fluids and antibiotics. |
| Fever is not a necessary factor in typhlitis, but when present distinguishes itself by its irregular range. |
| Whereas diarrhea and fever are common toxicities associated with high-dose chemotherapy, it is likely that many cases of typhlitis go unrecognized. |
