Bacterial infections and febrile neutropenia (FN) are major causes of morbidity mortality in patients with hematological malignancy. The aim this study was to investigate the incidence risk factors lymphoma patients.This retrospective conducted on 200 diagnosed treated between January 2009 December 2017 Diskapi Yildirim Beyazit Training Research Hospital, a tertiary referral hospital Ankara, Turkey.The mean follow-up period 20.09 ± 19.81 months. infection episode (IE) 32.5% (65/200) FN 18.5% (37/200). Analysis data revealed that IE had significantly higher rates diagnosis primary central nervous system (PCNSL), lower baseline hemoglobin, hematocrit, lactate dehydrogenase levels, usage cathater, number chemotherapy lines compared no IE. In logistic regression analysis, disease subtype PCNSL, catheter deyhydrogenase (LDH) were found increase infection. odds ratio for PCNSL 37.866 (p = 0.003), 2.679 0.008) 1.001 LDH 0.011).The associated usage, levels PCNSL. Baseline parameters not determined have any impact occurrence Patients these should be monitored more carefully maximum level prevention taken.
