Chemotherapy patients may be immuno-supressed so they developed infections like cytomegalovirus, isospora, cryptospora, shigella, salmonella or herpes viruses.
Until examination is done, it is difficult to say what it is. He may also develop chemotherapy drug induced liver damage. It is better to stop chemotherapy under your doctor's advice.
