Microbiologic Profile, Antimicrobial Resistance patterns, and Outcomes in Febrile Neutropenia in Eastern India: A Retrospective Analysis

Key Points

• Febrile neutropenia significantly correlates with adverse patient outcomes, leading to increased morbidity.
• In the study, a notable resistance rate of 70% was observed among gram-negative bacteria, heightening treatment challenges.
• Retrospective analysis focused on microbiologic profiles and resistance patterns from patient records across several hospitals.
• These findings highlight the necessity for updated treatment protocols to better manage febrile neutropenia in this region.
