Abstract
For febrile neutropenic patients who received hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, the Gram stain-acridine orange leukocyte cytospin (AOLC) test and the differential-time-to-positivity method (DTP) were performed. As a diagnostic tool for catheter-related bloodstream infections in these patients, the Gram stain-AOLC test has a lower sensitivity than does the DTP method but acceptable positive and negative predictive values.Entities:
