Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who are 18 years old and above.
  • Patients who have undergone allogeneic/autologous or peripheral stem cell transplantation following induction or consolidation treatment due to acute hematological malignancy.
  • Patients who have a neutrophil count below 500 cells per cubic millimeter (cells/mm^3) or below 1000 cells/mm^3 with an expectancy to rapidly decrease below 500 cells/mm^3.
  • Patients with a body temperature more than or equal to (≥)38.3 degrees Celsius (101 degrees Fahrenheit) on single oral measurement or detected ≥38.0 degrees Celsius for at least an hour and thus started on antibacterial treatment will be included in the trial.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients who are pregnant or considering pregnancy.
