Brief Summary: RATIONALE Antibiotics may decrease the side effects of neutropenia and fever caused by chemotherapy Colony-stimulating factors such as G-CSF may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may help a persons immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy It is not yet known whether antibiotic therapy plus G-CSF is more effective than antibiotic therapy alone for treating side effects caused by chemotherapy

PURPOSE Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of antibiotic therapy with or without G-CSF in treating children who have neutropenia and fever that are caused by chemotherapy
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine whether filgrastim G-CSF used in addition to standard antibiotic therapy accelerates time to resolution of febrile neutropenia in children receiving chemotherapy

OUTLINE This is a randomized study Patients are randomized to one of two treatment arms

Arm I Patients receive standard antibiotic therapy
Arm II Patients receive treatment as in arm I Patients also receive filgrastim G-CSF subcutaneously or IV once a day until at least 2 consecutive afebrile days have passed and absolute neutrophil count is at least 500mm3

Patients are followed for 3 days

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 200 patients 100 per treatment arm will be accrued for this study
