Introduction: nosocomial infection is that which the patient acquires when he is admitted to a health institution.

Results: in the bivariate statistical analysis just sex did not constitute a risk factor for nosocomial infection, while the multivariate analysis showed that the independent factors were the hospital stay, the use of nasogastric probe, age and coma. Conclusions: the aforementioned variables constituted risk factors for nosocomial infection in the above mentioned intensive care unit.
