title: [Neutropenia and fever of unknown origin].
abstract: We report a case of a young man presenting with a severe neutropenia together with a mild anemia. The diagnostic work up of such a hematological anomaly is reviewed. It finally revealed a therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia, secondary to previous chemotherapy for a testicular tumor.
