Assessment of New Blood Culture Methods on the Microbiological Documentation of Febrile Neutropenia

NCT00913042 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 120

Last updated 2012-07-26

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Febrile neutropenia are microbiologically documented in only 30% of the cases, and almost exclusively by blood cultures. The reasons for this low documentation are likely multiple: (1) some of these fevers are of non-infectious origin. (2) The bacterial inoculum present in the blood may be low and consequently undetectable by conventional blood cultures.

The primary objective of the study is to assess new blood culture procedures and technics, in order to improve the diagnostic yield of blood cultures during febrile neutropenic episodes.
