Ciprofloxacin Versus Levofloxacin in Stem Cell Transplant
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin are both in guidelines to use for prophylaxis in autologous and allogeneic Stem cell transplant.Ciprofloxacin was recently replaced by levofloxacin as the preferred agent in some transplant centers. In some small retrospective studies ciprofloxacin prophylaxis was associated with a higher rate of breakthrough gram positive bloodstream infections. However, the optimum oral agent for antibacterial prophylaxis in transplant recipients remains uncertain.
