متن کاملComparing the Efficacy of Ceftazidime and Meropenem in Treatment of Febrile Neutropenia in Pediatric Patients with Cancer
Abstract Background In cancer patients, various infections were developed due to severe neutropenia resulted from chemotherapy. Ceftazidime is commonly used as monotherapy of cancer patients with fever and neutropenia. Meropenem is a new carbapenem with more extended antibacterial spectrum including anaerobes.
