Article Synopsis
- Neutropenic fever and mucositis significantly contribute to mortality in adult acute leukemia patients, prompting a study on the role of serum zinc levels in these conditions.
- The study involved 40 patients who were divided based on their zinc levels and assessed for the prevalence of neutropenic fever and mucositis, using a double-blind, randomized approach.
- While higher serum zinc levels were observed in patients without mucositis and fever, the overall findings suggest zinc therapy may improve the quality of life but require further statistical validation.
