Although it is apparent that certain patients with febrile neutropenic episodes can benefit from outpatient antibiotic therapy, not all low-risk patients are treated in this fashion. There are barriers, real and perceived, to implementing this approach for patients, health care providers, and caregivers. Table 3 summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of ambulatory management of febrile neu...
introduction : infections in neutropenic patients are considered as major causes of mortality and emergence of drug resistant gram positive bacterial infections are crucially important to be covered if indicated. vancomycin is active against most gram positive bacteria including methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (mrsa). in this study, we evaluated the appropriate utilization of this a...
Children with malignancy receiving chemotherapy are prone to suffer from bacteremia and sepsis, which may consequently lead to significant neutropenia, loss of mucosal integrity, and the need for an indwelling central venous catheter. Bacteremia reportedly occurs more often in neutropenic than non-neutropenic episodes (20% vs. 3%) [1], and the presence of sepsis or bacteremia confers a 10-fold ...
Opportunistic infections caused by Candida tropicalis have been noted with increasing frequency in compromised patients. The pathogenicity of three isolates of C. tropicalis was studied in normal CD-1 mice, streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice, and cyclophosphamide-induced neutropenic mice. Lethal dose 50% endpoints and quantitative distribution of yeast cells in spleen, liver, and kidneys of m...
Antimicrobial treatment is often indicated to neutropenic patients. Although renal failure is a common complication of many antibiotics, no information could be found in the literature defining which are the best screening criteria for detecting renal injury. In this paper, the authors aim to assess the progress to renal failure in neutropenic patients on antimicrobial use and to compare differ...

Candida lusitaniae is an infrequent cause of fungemia. We identified 12 cases of C. lusitaniae fungemia that occurred at the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center from 1988 to 1999. The mean age of patients was 48 years (range 20--70 years). Eight patients had hematologic malignancy or had received a bone marrow transplant, and 4 had a solid tumor. Most patients (75%) were neutropeni...
Treatment of fever and neutropenia in cancer patients has been recognized for 30 years as a medical emergency, requiring prompt in-hospital evaluation and institution of broad-spectrum intravenous (i.v.) antibiotics. This action was deemed necessary due to the high frequency of life-threatening infections in febrile neutropenic patients, with no way to distinguish patients who are infected from...
