Abstract
To determine if severe neutropenia (neutrophil count < 500 cells/mm3) on the day of port-a-catheter (PORT) insertion was a risk factor for catheter-associated infection (CAI) in children with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). We also evaluated the incidence of CAI and wound dehiscence and the role of other potential risk factors for CAI.
