The study included 100 children with leukemia [n=80 with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and n=20 with acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML)]. Patients were divided into two groups based on whether they had three or fewer FEN episodes (Group 1) or more than three FEN episodes (Group 2). Group 1 contained 63 (63%) of the 100 patients, while Group 2 contained 37 (37%). Older age (≥7 years), leukemia type, prolonged neutropenia (>10 days), and the presence of neutropenia and hypogammaglobulinemia at diagnosis were all risk factors for having more than three FEN episodes. Our findings suggest that, in addition to ciprofloxacin prophylaxis, identifying risk factors and improving preventive strategies could help reduce FEN episodes in children with leukemia.Bu çalışmanın amacı, siprofloksasin profilaksisi alan lösemili çocuklarda febril nötropeni (FEN) için risk faktörlerini belirlemek ve önleyici stratejileri geliştirmektir. Çalışmaya lösemili 100 çocuk dahil edildi (akut lenfoblastik lösemi n=80 ve akut myeloid lösemi (AML) n=20). Hastalar üç ve üçten az FEN atağı (Grup 1) veya üçten fazla FEN atağı (Grup 2) geçirmelerine göre 2 gruba ayrıldı. Yüz hastanın 63’ünü (%63) Grup 1, kalan 37’sini (%37) Grup 2 oluşturdu. İleri yaş (≥7 yaş), lösemi tipi, uzamış nötropeni (>10 gün), tanı anında nötropeni ve hipogamaglobulinemi varlığı üçten fazla FEN atağı için anlamlı risk faktörleriydi.
