Mucositis and oral infections secondary to gram negative rods in patients with prolonged neutropenia
Patients with prolonged neutropenia are at risk for a variety of complications and infections including the development of mucositis and oral ulcers. The changes in oral flora during chemotherapy and its effects on the development of infections of the oral cavity have been studied with inconsistent results. However, there is evidence that supports the colonization of gram negative rods in patie...
متن کاملRisk factors for Gram-negative bacterial infections in febrile neutropenia.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to evaluate the risk of Gram-negative bacterial infections in febrile neutropenic patients and to develop a specific risk score. DESIGN AND METHODS This prospective study included 513 consecutive febrile neutropenic, evaluable patients. Forty-five per cent of the patients were receiving prophylactic gut decontamination, and 6% were rec...

متن کاملChallenges in the treatment of infections caused by gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria in patients with cancer and neutropenia.
Infection is the most common complication of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia. Bacterial infections predominate during the early stages of a neutropenic episode, whereas invasive fungal infections tend to occur later. The epidemiological pattern of bacterial infection continues to evolve globally and locally at the institutional level, as do patterns of susceptibility and resistance. These tren...
متن کاملPolyclonal bacteremia due to gram-negative rods.
The frequency of, risk factors for, and outcome of polyclonal gram-negative bacteremia are still unknown. We investigated them in a prospective cohort study of patients for whom a blood culture yielded >/=1 species of gram-negative aerobic rod. For each patient, pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) was performed on 4 colonies of each morphologic type. Episodes of bacteremia were considered p...
