    Author: Sumer T, Abumelha A, al-Mulhim I, al-Fadil M.
    Journal: Eur J Pediatr; 1989 Feb; 148(5):401-2. PubMed ID: 2493376.
    Abstract:
    Thirty-three children with leukemia who had neutropenia and fever were randomized to receive cefataxim and amikacin, versus the same antibiotics plus intravenous gammaglobulin (i.v. IgG). Duration of neutropenia, hospitalization and the interruption of chemotherapy were not different in the two groups; however, duration of fever was significantly shorter in the i.v. IgG group.
