Abstract: The utility of obtaining screening urine cultures for febrile neutropenia (FN) during hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) is unknown. In 667 adult HCT patients with FN, only 40 (6%) were found with bacteriuria. Antibiotics were modified in 3 patients (0.4%) based on urine cultures and none developed urinary-associated infectious complications.<br />Competing Interests: Potential conflicts of interest. All authors: No reported conflicts of interest.<br /> (© The Author(s) 2023. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of Infectious Diseases Society of America.)
