- W4384211738 abstract "Background: The prevalence and roles of respiratory viral pathogens in pediatric acute leukemia patients with febrile neutropenia is not well understood and laboratory tests to detect viral agents are not a routine practice in the investigation of these patients.Patients and methods: The medical records of 50 neutropenic episodes in pediatric acute leukemia patients in the Hacettepe University Children’s hospital, Ankara-Turkey, were reviewed. Blood samples were obtained for blood culture, aspergillus antigen and other routine tests. Nasopharyngeal aspirate samples were collected and transferred to the laboratory in a viral transport medium. Therapy for febrile neutropenia was initiated according to our institution’s protocols.Results: Fifty (50) consecutive febrile neutropenic episodes in 44 pediatric ALL and AML patients were included in the study between 1st October 2009 and 31st August 2010. Microbiologically documented infections were found in 36% of the episodes, clinically documented infections in 16% of the episodes and 48% of the episodes were accepted as Fever of Unknown Origin. Twenty-two percent (22%) of the microbiologically documented infections were due to viral agents, 56 % were due to Gram positive bacteria, 21% were due to Gram negative bacteria (E. coli) and only one episode of fungemia was documented.Conclusions: Fever of Unknown Origin constituted nearly 50% of the febrile neutropenic episodes in this study despite the availability of advanced laboratory diagnostic methods. Among the episodes with microbiologically documented infections, bacterial pathogens were especially common. Presenting complaints like cough and rhinorrhea are not specific to a viral etiology and care should be taken not to miss potentially threatening bacterial pathogens in such episodes." @default.
