Laser therapy has recently demonstrated efficacy in the management of oral mucositis (OM).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;AIM: &lt;/b&gt;This prospective study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of class IV laser therapy in patients affected by OM.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DESIGN: &lt;/b&gt;Eighteen onco-haematological paediatric patients receiving chemotherapy and/or haematopoietic stem cell transplantation, prior to total body irradiation, affected by OM, were enrolled in this study. Patients were treated with class IV laser therapy for four consecutive days; the assessment of OM was performed through WHO Oral Mucositis Grading Objective Scale, and pain was evaluated through visual analogue scale. Patients completed a validated questionnaire, and photographs of lesions were taken during each session. Patients were re-evaluated 11 days after the first day of laser therapy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;All patients demonstrated improvement in pain sensation, and all mucositis was fully resolved at the 11-day follow-up visit, with no apparent side effects. Laser therapy was well tolerated with remarkable reduction in pain associated with oral mucositis after 1-2 days of laser therapy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Given class IV laser therapy appears to be safe, non-invasive, and potentially effective, prospective, randomized, controlled trials are necessary to further assess efficacy and to determine optimal treatment parameters.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24372909?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giurici, Nagua</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanazzo, Giulio A</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Consensus on diagnosis and empiric antibiotic therapy of febrile neutropenia.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatr Rep</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatr Rep</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011 Feb 24</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">e4</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Controversial issues on the management of empiric therapy and diagnosis of febrile neutropenia (FN) were faced by a Consensus Group of the Italian Association of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology (AIEOP).
