Objetive: To characterize the patients that enter the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) due to Febrile Neutropenia, in the Prevention Clinic of the city of Barranquilla. Method: A descriptive and retrospective study is presented, designed with the objective of characterizing the patients enter the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) for Febrile Neutropenia, in the Prevention Clinic of the city of Barranquilla, period 2015 - 2016. Results: Febrile neutropenia (NF) is a common entity in children affected with oncohematological diseases and who receive chemotherapy; this occurs on average of six episodes during two-year schemes (1). Factors such as defects of humoral and cellular immunity that are associated with primary disease and chemotherapy or radiotherapy, malnutrition and even damage to anatomical barriers, make this population susceptible to infectious processes, this added to the main factor as such which is the low circulating neutrophil count, leads to a marked increase in infectious morbidity and mortality in these patients; thus, there is a high risk of admission to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), which according to what is described by Lane et al (2) is between 30% and 42% of all pediatric patients with febrile neutropenia. Conclusion: It was concluded that the behavior of the population that requires attention in the PICU is similar to that described in the literature in terms of sex, age, type of neoplasia, severity of neutropenia, hemoglobin and platelet levels, and identification of infectious foci.
