Changing Epidemiology of Infections in Patients with Neutropenia and Cancer: Emphasis on Gram-Positive and Resistant Bacteria

1 Sept 1999

Abstract excerpt

Over the past 3 decades, considerable changes have occurred in the types of bacteria causing infection in febrile patients with neutropenia and cancer. Twenty years ago, gram-negative bacteria caused approximately 70% of bloodstream infections. As a probable consequence of long-dwelling intravascular devices, fluoroquinolone prophylaxis, and high-dose chemotherapy-induced mucositis, there has been a shift toward...
