Plasma presepsin level is an early diagnostic marker of severe febrile neutropenia in hematologic malignancy patients
BACKGROUND Febrile neutropenia (FN) is a common infectious complication in chemotherapy. The mortality of FN is higher in hematologic malignancy patients, and early diagnostic marker is needed. Presepsin is a prompt and specific marker for bacterial sepsis, but its efficacy in severe febrile neutropenia (FN) is not well confirmed. We tried to clarify whether it is a useful maker for early diagn...
متن کاملManagement of Febrile Neutropenia
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...
متن کاملComparison of the effects of two different doses of Filgrastim in febrile neutropenia management in childhood malignancy: A randomized clinical trial
Background: Febrile neutropenia (FN) is most often caused due to chemotherapy. Solid or certain lymphoproliferative malignancies can increase the duration of hospitalization and other complications in cancer patients. Filgrastim is used in childhood FN management. This study aimed to compare the effect of two different doses of Filgrastim on hematological and paraclinical factors in hospitalize...
متن کاملLong-term epidemiology of bacterial susceptibility profiles in adults suffering from febrile neutropenia with hematologic malignancy after antibiotic change
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the epidemiology and antibiotic susceptibility profiles of isolated bacterial organisms in relation to empiric treatment of neutropenic fever over a 15-year period. METHODS All patients with or at risk for febrile neutropenia and treated in the hematology ward of the Antwerp University Hospital during 1994-2008 were prospectively included. Sk...
متن کاملInfluence of Febrile Neutropenia Period on Plasma Viscosity at Malignancy
Cancer, chemotherapy, and infections all together make changes in blood rheology and may affect the defense mechanisms by changing the thrombocyte function and endothelial cell. We have examined changes of blood rheology on plasma viscosity to put on probable following criteria for starting the treatment of febrile neutropenia immediately. A total of 27 postchemotherapy patients (16 males and 1...
