title: [Etiology and structure of infectious complications of cytostatic therapy in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and non-B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas].
abstract: A retrospective analysis of medical histories with acute lymphoblast leucosis and non-B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas made it possible to reveal infectious complications of cytostatic therapy in 100% of children, namely: sepsis (0.3%), unidentified infection (12%), local infection (87.7%). Infectious complications of the cytopenic nature were localized mainly in the upper sections of the gastrointestinal tract and in upper respiratory tract. Bacterial infectious complications caused by opportunistic microorganisms with the prevalence of Gram positive flora, resistant to cephalosporins of generations I and II, occurred most frequently.
