[Clinical and microbiological characteristics of bloodstream infections in adult neutropenic patients].

The objective was determinate the epidemiologic and microbiologic features of the BI in neutropenic patients with solid neoplasm (SN) and hematologic neoplasm (HN). Retrospective study in two third level hospitals between 2009 and 2016.
