The symptoms of infection can be minimal or absent in patients with febrile neutropenia at first. The focal site of infection, which may be the main cause of a fever or be a complication of neutropenia, can develop as neutrophils increase during the clinical course of febrile neutropenia.

Grade 3 and 4 neutropenia as well as febrile neutropenia have been demonstrated to occur in all tumor types and are clearly associated with major morbidity and significant mortality; this is particularly true when myelosuppressive regimens are used with curative intent as is the case in most breast cancer and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma regimens. Myeloid colony-stimulating factors (CSFs) substantial...

PURPOSE This study sought to evaluate factors associated with hospital length of stay in cancer patients with febrile neutropenia. METHODS A prospective cohort study was performed at a single tertiary referral hospital in southern Brazil from October 2009 to August 2011. All adult cancer patients with febrile neutropenia admitted to the hematology ward were evaluated. Stepwise random-effects ...

objective: to evaluate the potential advantages of imipenem/cilastatin in control of fever in neutro-penic hsct recipients.patients and method: in this single-center study, 111 consecutive febrile episodes in 104 neutropenic hsct recipients with a mean age of 26 years were randomized to treatment either with imipenem/cilastatin 1 g, iv, q8h or cefepime (our standard regimen) 2 g, iv, q8h. if fe...

Febrile neutropenia is a serious adverse effect of chemotherapy. It can lead to complications and death, as well delays in treatment, chemotherapy dose reductions, compromised treatment efficacy, reduced survival. The assessment the patient-related risk factors plays significant role prevention febrile its complications. In case intermediate-risk chemotherapy, contribute estimation an overall t...

OBJECTIVES To assess safety and efficacy of JiSaiXin (Recombinant Human Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor Injection manufactured in China, G-CSF) 150ug per day for three days and whether this regimen could reduce the incidence of febrile neutropenia caused by chemotherapy. METHOD From July 2014 to December 2014 patients treated by chemotherapy in our hospital were randomly divided into tw...

Bacterial Pathogens Bacteria are the predominant organisms. In the late 1950’s/early 1960’s Gram+ve organisms were the commonest, particularly Staphylococcus aureus. The late 1960’s/early 1970’s were typified by Gram-ve of gastrointestinal tract origin, particularly Escherischia coli, Klebsiella spp and Pseudomonas spp. By the 1990’s Staphylococcus spp including coagulase negative organisms, St...
