Introduction: Sufficient empirical antimicrobial therapy in febrile patients with cancer is challenging, owing to the limited arsenal of available antibiotics in an era of growing resistance. Because of the emergence of gram-negative bacteria resistant to ceftazidime and piperacillin, a combination antibiotic therapy was employed that uses meropenem combined with gentamicin and/or vancomycin if the patient further deteriorates.
Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis was performed including all patients with catheter-associated bloodstream infections (BSIs) and treated for childhood cancer in a tertiary single centre between 1 January 2000 and 31 June 2018.
