Abstract

In a prospective study of 50 patients with prolonged neutropenia, we observed a 75% response rate to a staged empirical antibiotic regimen used to treat 101 episodes of fever. Additions or modifications to the protocol were rarely necessary. The use of an approach such as this improves the management of febrile neutropenic patients.
