This study aims to determine the distribution and resistance profiles of microorganisms in bloodstream infections among febrile neutropenic patients with hematological malignancies.
Retrospective review of single-centre data from patients with hematological malignancies and bloodstream infections during febrile neutropenia episodes.
Data from 164 febrile neutropenic episodes in 122 patients were analyzed.
56.7% of episodes were attributed to Gram-negative bacteria, with Escherichia coli being the most prevalent at 31%.
Carbapenem resistance was observed in 20.2% and was independently associated with 30-day ICU admission and all-cause mortality.
ESBL positivity was found in 49.3% of cases but was not independently associated with adverse outcomes.
