In 27 (25.2%) of 107 attacks. bacterial growth were observed, 7 of which were from afebrile neutropenic and 20 of which were from febrile neutropenic attacks. In 20 of the 72 febrile neutropenic attacks. 22 microorganisms were cultured. In 18 attacks, single microorganism was detected, while in two attacks, two different microorganisms were found. Of the 29 microorganisms obtained from all attacks, 22 (75.8%) were staphy-lococci. five (17.2%) Gram-negative bacteria, and two (6.9%) Candida species. All of 22 Gram-positive bacteria were methicil-lin-resistant staphylococci. In the attacks of afebrile and febrile neutropenic patients. mortality rate was not significantly different between blood cultur-positive group and blood cultur-negative group.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessFebrile neutropeniablood cultureArticle1913235WOS:000420791100008N/A
