BACKGROUND The timing and necessity of repeated blood cultures (BCs) in children with cancer and febrile neutropenia (FN) are unknown.

Diagnostic yield was calculated as the number of FN episodes with a true bloodstream infection (BSI) detected divided by the number of FN episodes that had a BC taken. RESUL
