Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Clinical success rate.
Resolve of clinical symptoms and signs, without change of therapy.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Microbiologic success rate
Microbiologic success includes eradication, suspected eradication, and super-infection. Eradication or Presumed eradication: the baseline pathogens no longer present on the culture performed after completion of treatment. If no way to collect biologic sample(s) after treatment;, e.g. sputum, a presumed eradication will be concluded No eradication: one or more baseline pathogens were persistent Relapse: the baseline pathogens transient absence reappeared during the therapy Alternative: the baseline pathogens were eradicated, but new ones appeared without any clinical signs and symptoms Re-infection: the baseline pathogens were eradicated, but new ones appeared with clinical signs and symptoms.
Adverse effect
The number of patients developed unexpected medical information at the 3 weeks after beginning of empirical therapy.
Cost of drug and therapy

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Neutropenia is very common in patients received hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, with median duration of about 14 days. In 2010 update, IDSA recommended Piperacillin/tazobactam as first-line mono-therapy for febrile patients with neutropenia of high risk. In china, the data of piperacillin/tazobactam for febrile neutropenia after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is very limited. The current study will evaluate the efficacy of piperacillin/tazobactam compared with imipenem/cilastatin for febrile neutropenia after transplantation.
Detailed Description
Swab culture (skin, pharyngeal, nasal, anus) when administered into laminar flow room after transplantation. Randomize the febrile patients into 2 groups. Therapy group receive piperacillin/tazobactam, 4.5g q6h iv. Control group receive imipenem/cilastatin, 0.5g q6h. Duration will be 5-10 days.
