The objective was to estimate the incidence and risk factors for recurrent fever (RF) in children with FN during the intensive phase of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) treatment. Methods: The study included 113 consecutive patients diagnosed with ALL. Total of 256 FN episodes in these patients between January 2016 and June 2017 were analysed retrospectively.
