Abstract:

Background Nosocomial infections are a particular threat for patients with liver cirrhosis. It is not uncommon that individuals develop even several consecutive infections during a single hospital stay. We aimed to investigate the impact and characteristics of multiple, consecutive nosocomial infections. Methods A total of 514 consecutive patients with liver cirrhosis and ascites were included and followed up for 28 days for nosocomial infection, death or liver transplantation (LTx). Laboratory values were assessed at the time of hospitalization as well as at the onset of each new infectious e

Abstract:

Background: Nosocomial infections, otherwise known as Hospital-acquired infections, are infections that are not present or incubating when the person is admitted to a healthcare facility (WHO, 1988). In other words, infections are considered nosocomial if they first appear 48 hours or more after hospital admissions or 30 days after discharge (Wikipedia 2007). Hospital-acquired or Nosocomial infection is the result of the transmission of pathogenic organisms to a previously un-infected patient from a source in a hospital's environment.

It is important to separate hospital-acquired infections and community-acquired infectious diseases. Within epidemiology, a specific branch deals with nosocomial infections. The most important goal is their prevention named as infection control. To be able to assess the extent of current progress in nosocomial infections, it is important to understand the history of infection control, which is nowadays a world

Abstract:

AbstractNosocomial infections appear to be increased in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), compared to individuals with asymptomatic infection due to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Risk factors for bacterial colonization and infection include immunosuppression, prior treatment with some antibiotics, increased hospitalizations with longer lengths of stay, greater exposure to invasive devices such as indwelling intravenous or urinary catheters, and the degree of immunosuppression. Data suggest that other infectious agents such asPneumocystis carinii, Mycobacterium tube

The method was based on the use of false negatives of the classification table obtained from application of a fixed multiple logistic regression model, as an estimator of the number of potentially preventable nosocomial infections.Results:The c

Abstract:

Background: Nosocomial infection is an infection that hospitalized patients get while receiving health care. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and factors involved in the incidence of nosocomial infections, related microbial agents, and antibiotic resistance profiles. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 390 patients with nosocomial infection admitted to Shahid Beheshti Hospital in Sabzevar from 2011 to 2015. The acquired data were assessed by the standard checklist of the National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance (NNIS) system of the Ministry of Health. The collec

Background The relation between older age and nosocomial infection and mortality in the intensive care unit (ICU) is still a controversial issue. Methods The authors prospectively studied 406 patients admitted to a surgical ICU, 106 of whom were more than 75 yr old. Information concerning ICU-acquired nosocomial infections, severity of illness, therapeutic activity, and hospital outcome was collected. A Cox proportional hazard analysis was used to evaluate potential risk factors for ICU-acquired nosocomial infections, ICU, and hospital death. Results During their ICU stay, 23 elderly patients

Nosocomial infection or also called hospital-acquired infection occurs in patients who are hospitalized for at least 72 hours and the patient does not show symptoms of infection when admitted to hospital.

In 2006 Indonsia had the percentage of nosocomial infections was obtained in Lampung Province reached 4.3%, Jambi 2.8%, DKI Jakarta 0.9%, West Java 2.2%, then Central Java 0.5%, and Yogyakarta 0.8 %.

Abstract:

Population-based studies of Staphylococcus aureus contribute to understanding the epidemiology of S. aureus infection. We enrolled surgical inpatients admitted to an African tertiary-care hospital in order to prospectively analyze the nosocomial impact of S. aureus. Data collection included an active sampling of the anterior nares and infectious foci within 48 h after admission and subsequently when clinically indicated. All S. aureus isolates were spa and agr genotyped. Possession of Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) and other toxin genes was determined. We analyzed antibiotic susceptibility
