Summary

Sepsis and the septic shock and the up to date knowledge about them represent a marked drifting for diagnostics and the treatment of this complications. Their application in patients with the oncological disease or the other immunocompromised patients represents further extension in the specific group of patients with several unique properties. In despite of the improving results in the oncological treatment there are only few reports in literature about this group of patients and this one is steadily growing due to the progressive improving of the supportive care in oncology. This group of patients with the febrile neutropenia and the sepsis (the most frequent complication) request the special focus of general practitioners and the internists because these ones are with these patients in contact as a first. They have to master the basal image about the specialties of this patient group. In our article we analyze this group of patients with focus on antibiotics in febrilie neutropenia and sepsis and on the other supportive care in the immunocopromised patients.

Key words:
sepsis – septic shock – febrilie neutropenia – immunocompromised patient
