Bloodstream Infections in Hematologic Malignancy Patients With Fever and Neutropenia: Are Empirical Antibiotic Therapies in the United States Still Effective?

Andrea J. Zimmer et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the epidemiology, antibiotic resistance patterns, and clinical outcomes of bloodstream infections in US cancer patients. The results showed that cefepime or piperacillin-tazobactam, as recommended by US guidelines, remain effective empirical treatment for high-risk cancer patients with febrile neutropenia who are stable at presentation.

A practical update on the epidemiology and risk factors for the emergence and mortality of bloodstream infections from real-world data of 3014 hematological malignancy patients receiving chemotherapy

Shaozhen Chen et al.

Summary: This study focused on bloodstream infections (BSI) in patients with hematologic malignancies (HM) receiving chemotherapy, finding a high BSI rate primarily caused by Gram-negative bacteria, especially multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains. Various factors like gender, age, hospital stays, neutropenia, antibiotic use, and infection sites were found to predict BSI emergence, while factors like age, neutropenia, HM remission status, white blood cell count, antibiotic use, infection sites, and specific bacterial strains predicted 30-day mortality. High attention should be paid to managing these risk factors for effective clinical care.
