Resumen
Objective: To investigate the factors of risk associated to infections by gram positive versus gram negative in the patients with febrile Neutropenia postchemotherapy. Design: We conducted an analytical study of cases and controls based on hospitalized patients to identify
the associated factors of risk to bacterial infections between patients with neutropenia febrile. The investigator collected the information in a questionnaire designed for the investigation. Patients: We compared 65 cases infected by gram positive with 200 controls infected by gram negative
hospitalized with diagnosis of febrile Neutropenia postchemotherapy. Analysis: The odds ratio was used as the basic statistic to evaluate risk. Main results: Univariate analysis showed that injuries in skin( -OR 7,2; CI 95%: 2,89-17,9, p< 0,001) and
use of central catheter ( -OR 5,8; IC 95%: 2,0-16,8, p < 0,010) were associated to infections by gram positive. Conclusions: This study showed that between patients with febrile Neutropenia postchemotherapy the
injuries in skin and use of central catheter are associated with the development of infection by gram positive. Key words: Febrile Neutropenia; risk factors; bacterial infections.
