Effect of Antibacterial Prophylaxis on Febrile Neutropenic Episodes and Bacterial Bloodstream Infections in Dutch Pediatric Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia: A Two-Center Retrospective Study
Bloodstream infections (BSIs), especially those caused by Gram-negative rods (GNR) and viridans group streptococci (VGS), are common and potentially life-threatening complications of pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) treatment. Limited literature is available on prophylactic regimens. We retrospectively evaluated the effect of different antibacterial prophylaxis regimens on the incidence of febrile neutropenic (FN) episodes and bacterial BSIs.
