COMPARISON OF PRESEPSIN, PROCALCITONIN, INTERLEUKIN-8 AND C-REACTIVE PROTEIN IN PREDICTING BACTERAEMIA IN FEBRILE NEUTROPENIC ADULT PATIENTS WITH HAEMATOLOGICAL MALIGNANCIES

COMPARISON OF PRESEPSIN, PROCALCITONIN, INTERLEUKIN-8 AND C-REACTIVE PROTEIN IN PREDICTING BACTERAEMIA IN FEBRILE NEUTROPENIC ADULT PATIENTS WITH HAEMATOLOGICAL MALIGNANCIES
