title: [Characteristic features of infections in hemoblastoses under cytostatic treatment (author's transl)].
abstract: Infections and/or severe hemorrhages are the reasons for the unfavorable prognosis in patients with myeloid insufficiency. Hemorrhagic complications may be reduced by thrombocyte transfusions and substitution of coagulation factors; the prevention and treatment of infections represents great problems in spite of newly developed broad spectrum antibiotics. A comparison is made between the therapeutic results of 11 patients treated in sterile units and 22 patients treated under conventional conditions. The rate of remission was seen to be 64% in the first group and 28% in the second.
