In conclusion, sequential prophylaxis may effectively prevent episodes of bacteremia and hospitalizations in neutropenic MM outpatient APBSCT recipients. Prospective studies that involve larger numbers of MM patients with extended periods of follow-up are ultimately required to define the safety and efficacy of sequential antibacterial prophylaxis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
