Beskrivelse
Summary:In the context of the significant health risks posed by neutropenia in oncology patients, this study explored the impact of Gram - negative and Gram - positive bacteria in critical care units. Neutropenia, characterized by a severe decrease in neutrophils, increases vulnerability to infections, especially in patients undergoing chemotherapy. The aim of this study was to identify patterns of bacterial infection and their consequences on morbidity and mortality, using a qualitative approach that included a comprehensive review of high - impact scientific articles published between 2020 and 2024. The results indicated that infections with Gram - negative bacteria, such as Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, were prevalent and associated with high mortality rates, requiring timely intervention with antibiotics. The findings underscored the urgent need for personalized treatment strategies to combat antibiotic resistance, which complicates management in critical settings. Ultimately, this research highlighted the importance of improving infection management protocols to optimize outcomes in neutropenic patients in intensive care.
