BEMBIBRE TABOADA, Rubén; GONZALEZ AVALOS, Enrique y QUINTERO LA O, Cristina. Sepsis nosocomial. Rev cubana med [online]. 1997, vol.36, n.2, pp. 95-99. ISSN 1561-302X.
A l-year period study was carried out at "Gustavo Aldereguía Lima" Provincial Clinical and Surgical Hospital from January, 1st 1994 to January, 1st 1995 with the aim of knowing the present situation of nosocomial infection in our center. A number of 299 patients was studied, and it was proved that the most frequent sepsis were respiratory sepsis, phlebitis, and surgical sepsis; isolated germs were found to be Klebsiella, Staphylococcus, Pseudomona, and Escherichia coli; males were more affected than females. A microbiological verification was performed in 30.43 % of cases and services most reported accounted for medical care to seriously ill patients and were related to a greater volume of admission. Geriatric age groups were found to be a risk factor. The most frequent infections have a direct and indirect relationship to the aggression of the nosocomial germ.
