Risk Based Treatment for Children with Febrile Neutropenia

Abstract

Developing drug resistance requires the rational use of antibiotics. In this study; it is aimed to assess the affectivity of the oral treatment and monotherapy in febrile neutropenia. In this study, 64 febrile neutropenia attacks that have observed in 44 patients were evaluated retrospec-tively. In the low risk group, when a starch has provided; imipenem, a starch has been providing three days imipenem+five days oral cefix-ime, in the high risk group; a starch was provided as cefixime+amicasin, other starch was provided as imipenem. None of the patients who were involved in the study lost their lives. The empiric treatment success without any modification in entire group was 78%. The same success was 53,8% in low risk imipenem brachion, the same success was 92,3% in three days imipenem+five days cefixime brachion (p=0,037), it was 81,3% in high risk cefixime+amicasin brachion and in the imienem brachion, it was 81,8% (p=0,641). Due to the fact that our number of patient is restricted, in the empiric treatment, the oral treatment could be more effective in the oral treatment however, in high risky patients, monotherapy is accepted as betterness because each brachion has same success.
