N2  - Background and objective:To detect prevelance of enterocolitis in AML ,causative organisms ,lines of management and outcome of management of typhlitis for these patients  Patients and methods: Retrospective study forall types of AML during induction and intensification  treatment for 203 children treated  at pediatric oncology unit.Results:Forty Three cases of total 203 case were eligible for the study with evidence of typhlitis(20.9%)  and among the 43 cases 6cases experienced a2nd Episode of typhlitis (14%). Total number of typhlitis studied 49 episoes.Conclusion: Not all patients in our series responded to conservative treatment in  our study, so it is  important to monitor patients for the development of secondary complications following the acute episode and our study  does not support a conservative management of typhlitis only, Aggressive antimicrobial treatment is essential, and we believe meropenem is a good first-line therapy with addition of an aminglycoside and antifungal agent when fever persists
