Abstract
⺠We describe the antimicrobial prescription patterns of patients with hematological malignancies who developed febrile neutropenia in three different wards. ⺠The initial empirical therapy included monotherapy (37%), dual therapy (60%) and triple therapy (3%). ⺠The study demonstrated large variation in the antimicrobial treatment of febrile neutropenia episodes. ⺠All chosen drugs were within international guidelines recommendations.
