Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Observational study to compare the treatment in neutropenic patients after allogenic blood stem cell transplantation, with meropenem or meropenem plus glycopeptide.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Observational study cost-effectivity to compare the treatment in neutropenic patients after allogenic blood stem cell transplantation, with meropenem or meropenem plus glycopeptide.

The study will be done in two consecutive cohorts of patients. First cohort: meropenem 1g/8h ev Second cohort: meropenem 1g/8h and glycopeptide (vancomycin 1g/12 h or teicoplanin 400 mg/24h)
