A Prospective Study on the Epidemiology of Febrile Episodes during Chemotherapy-Induced Neutropenia in Children with Cancer or after Hemopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Abstract

The overall incidence of febrile neutropenia and severe infectious complications in children with cancer is low, with differences according to the aggressiveness of chemotherapy. This fact must be considered when designing clinical trials on the management of infectious complications in children with cancer.
