Resumen
LEBEQUE PEREZ, Yamila; MORRIS QUEVEDO, Humberto J. y CALAS VIAMONTE, Nerys. Nosocomial infections: Incidence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Rev cubana med [online]. 2006, vol.45, n.1, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-302X.
Nosocomial infections are an extraordinarily important health problem in the world that affects the quality and efficiency of the medical services. Some fundamental aspects on the transmission of nosocomial infections in the hospital environment, the incidence of pathogens recognized as nosocomial, among which Pseudomonas aeruginosa occupies a preponderant place, and different risk factors associated with its appearance, are dealt with in a general way. Questions related to the areas most affected by these diseases in the hospital environment were also considered, and a brief description about the functioning of the Committees for the Control of Nosocomial Infections was made, as one of the measures to take into account for its prevention.
