Popis:	A total of 1051 bacteremic episodes (782 patients) were prospectively recorded in 10 cancer centers (9 French, 1 Belgian), with: patient's age (mean 53, range 1-89 years), underlying cancer, neutropenia ( or = 2 bottles positive of probable clinical significance (569 episodes; 54%). In group 1 (218 doubtful, 398 probably significant episodes) significant differences were seen in chills (36% vs 52%), shock (7% vs 13%), polymicrobial (8% vs 17%), initiation of empiric antibiotic treatment (60% vs 72%); in group 3 (87 doubtful, 94 probably significant) in time to growth delay; in group 4 (177 doubtful, 30 probably significant) in proportion with implanted catheter (26% vs 52%), fever (62% vs 10%), and time to growth. This study confirms the predominant role of Gram-positive cocci in bacteremia occurring in cancer patients.
