Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine whether in children with cancer presenting with fever in severe chemotherapy-induced neutropenia at low risk for medical complications oral antibiotics in an outpatient setting after an initial phase of intravenous antibiotics and in-hospital observation for 8 to 22 hours is not inferior as to safety and efficacy compared to continued intravenous antibiotics given in-hospital
Detailed Description: Details on antimicrobial therapy

At presentation with FN fever and neutropenia and during an initial inpatient observation period of 8 to 22 hours empirical intravenous broad-spectrum antibiotics are given Type and dosage are chosen by the treating physician
Patients randomized to continued intravenous antibiotics continue with these antibiotics
Patients randomized to oral antibiotics receive a combination of oral ciprofloxacin 25 to 30 mgkgday top dose 1500 mgday plus oral amoxicillin 65 to 80 mgkgday top dose 2250 mgday both given in two doses per day
In both groups the study gives guidelines for certain situations and rules for other situations when to change and when to stop antibiotics

Details on clinical and laboratory controls

During antibiotic therapy patients are seen daily either as inpatients or as outpatients according to randomization Complete blood counts are performed at least every second day
After stopping antibiotic therapy and until resolution of severe neutropenia if applicable patients are seen every other day with a complete blood count
Patients randomized to outpatient management have the possibility to contact at any time of the day and night a pediatric oncologist in case of problems in order to discuss necessity for emergency control andor rehospitalization
