cancer, and Indonesia. Literature was included when research was focuse
children with febrile neutropenia or reported on febrile neutropenia-causin
sensitivity results. Literature was excluded when full version of the paper

Results

common characteristics are male, age 5-6 years old, Absolute Neutrophil
