Purpose The rates of early mortality (EM) are high in patients receiving intensive chemotherapy for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Decreasing EM-rates over time have recently been reported. The reason for the improvement is however elusive and generally attributed to better supportive antibiotic and antifungal treatment. We wanted to investigate th...
