Brief Summary

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

The goal of this observational study is to assess if the molecular diagnostic tool BioFire FilmArray BCID2 is more useful for the microbiological diagnosis of bloodstream infections in hematological patients with febrile neutropenia, compared to the conventional microbiologic studies.

The study compares the sensibility and specificity of these two techniques.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Age ≥18 years
* Patients hospitalised for the treatment of haematological malignancy or undergoing an autologous or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant or receiving CAR-T cell therapy
* Patients presenting with febrile neutropenia (defined as axillary temperature ≥ 38.0°C and \<500 neutrophils/mm3 or \<1000 with an expected rapid decrease in 24-48 hours),
* Patient to whom blood cultures are ordered as standard care for the microbiological diagnosis of the febrile neutropenia episode.

Exclusion Criteria

* Axillary temperature \<37.5ºC.
* High clinical suspicion of a non-infectious cause of fever at the moment when blood cultures are drawn (high suspicion of drug related fever, infusion reaction).
* Previously enrolled patients in whom the time between inclusion and the current episode is less than four weeks.
* Patients with febrile neutropenia in whom no blood cultures are drawn.
