Abstract:
Improvement in supportive care including the introduction of new antibiotics, antiviral and antifungal agents and haematopoietic growth factors have all contributed to a decreased chemotherapy-related mortality and morbidity in cancer patients. However, infection during neutropenia is still a major complication and a great concern for the clinician responsible for the patient. Management of infectious complications in the neutropenic patient is reviewed.
