New test could give doctors a head start on fighting deadly infections in kids with cancer
NCT ID NCT03226158
Summary
This study is testing a new type of blood test to see if it can predict dangerous bloodstream infections in children and young adults with cancer before they happen. The goal is to help doctors start the right antibiotic treatment earlier, which could prevent severe illness. The test analyzes genetic material from germs in the blood, and researchers will compare results from children who get infections to those who stay healthy.
