In the present study of children during cancer treatment, the blood transcriptome was not suitable for determining the etiology of FN because of too few circulating immune cells for reliable gene expression analysis. To determine whether it is possible to detect pathogen-specific immune responses on the basis of gene expression in immunosuppressed children, we compared the blood transcriptomes of samples with viral infection, bacterial infection, co-infection, or unknown etiology with those of the control samples.
