Research Article: Impact of Infection Patterns on the Outcomes of Patients with Hematological Malignancies in Southwest China: A -Year Retrospective Case-Control Study
Abstract:
Microbial Infection has been well documented as one of the most common complications for patients with hematological malignancies (HM) receiving chemotherapy or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) treatment. However, the latest systematic reviews focusing on hematological malignancies (HM) and microbial infection have illustrated that the bulk of clinical trials present incomplete information of infections without indicating the type of pathogens or source of infections, or simply referred to individual microbials in neutropenic patients, which rarely provided a structured presentation. In addition, due to the administration of vaccinations, and antibiotic prophylaxis,– the burden of microbial infection in HM patients may be alleviated. However, there is a paucity of studies concerning this alleviation in China.
