Bacterial detection in paediatric cancer patients with febrile neutropenia, from conventional microbiological testing to advanced molecular techniques: a scoping review.
INTRODUCTION: Febrile neutropenia (FN) is a common complication of cancer treatment and carries a risk of bacterial bloodstream infection. Integrating pathogen detection with host response biomarkers should be considered to improve diagnostic accuracy.
