Organisms Isolated from Blood Cultures, Their Antimicrobial Susceptibilities and Patient Characteristics in Patients with Febrile Neutropenia

Abstract

Objective: Appropriate and prompt treatment of infections in patients with neutropenia influences the morbidity and mortality. For this purpose, information about etiological agents is of great importance. The objective of this study is to detect the organisms isolated from blood cultures, their antimicrobial susceptibilities, and patient characteristics in patients with haematological malignancy during their febrile neutropenic episodes.
