الوصف: INTRODUCTION: Febrile neutropenic episodes (FNEs) are among major causes of mortality in patients with hematological malignancies. Secondary infections develop either during the empirical antibiotic therapy or one week after cessation of therapy for a FNE. The aim of the study was to investigate the risk factors associated with secondary infections in febrile neutropenic patients. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 750 FNEs in 473 patients between January 2000 and December 2006. RESULTS: Secondary infections were diagnosed in 152 (20%) of 750 FNEs. The median time to develop secondary infection was 10 days (range 2-34 days). The duration of neutropenia over 10 days significantly increased the risk of secondary infections (p0.05) While fever of unknown origin (FUO) (p=0.005) and catheter-related bacteremia (p
