Mahmoud A. El-Hawy, Doaa M. Elian, Mai El-Sayad Abd El-Hamid, Esraa T. Allam, Mariam S. Kandeel, Asmaa A. Mahmoud

Background: Infection is a significant cause of death following chemotherapy-induced febrile neutropenia (FN). Neutropenia and compromised neutrophil function are the primary reasons for the decreased defense against infections.
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the significance of neutrophil elastase (NE) in predicting the outcomes of childhood hematological malignancies with FN. Methods: The study included 64 patients with FN and 64 healthy children...
