Official title
A Randomized Pilot Study Comparing Infection Rates in Myeloablative Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant Patients Receiving a Non-Neutropenic Diet or a Neutropenic Diet
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
In the transplant community, there is debate regarding the most appropriate food services for stem cell transplant patients. Recommendations regarding the use of low bacterial diets have been based on theoretical concepts of reducing the risk of contracting infections from pathogens found in food sources rather than clinical trials. The evidence for the use of a neutropenic diet is weak. To date, there have been little to no randomized controlled studies addressing the question whether a neutropenic diet in addition to prophylactic antibiotics is necessary as infection prevention in myeloablative stem cell transplant patients. For this reason, our research is aimed at providing data to substantiate the use of neutropenic diets in preventing infections in recipients of myeloablative stem cell transplants.
