title: Immunocompromised patients and nutrition.
abstract: Most immunocompromised patients will have undergone bone marrow transplantation. These patients will require both nutritional support and some form of dietary restriction. Food restrictions used with patients undergoing BMT include a sterile diet, low-microbial diet or modified hospital diet. No empirical research exists on the relative benefits of each.
