In patients with febrile neutropenia unless proved otherwise, infections should be considered as the cause of

fever and antibiotic treatment must be started immediately. This study was designed to compare efficiency of

FN. 51 patients followed and treated by Turgut Özal Medical Center, Department of Haematology were admitted

to study. As a conclusion, two combinations were found to be equal in efficacy.
