ABSTRACT
Background: nosocomial infections determine an increase in social and economic costs ,as well as, associated with increased hospital morbidity and mortality. Objective: characterize the epidemiological variables in patients reported with nosocomial infections and admitted to Vladimir Ilich Lenin Hospital. Methods: a descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out at the V. I. Lenin Hospital. The research comprised 836 patients entered in this institution in 2010 reported with nosocomial infection. Variables of interest such as rates of nosocomial infections, localizations of infection, percentage of patients with microbiologic studies, positive studies, and germs were evaluated. Results: the services of intensive care reported the higher rates of nosocomial infections. The main infection localization was the breathing one with 25.2% followed by the infections of the reproductive system with 23.3%. Microbiological studies were done in 67.1% of patients with result positive of 52.5%. Staphylococcus with 35.7%, Pseudomonas with 31.7%, Acinectobacter with 17.2% and Klebsiella pneumoniae with 15.2% were the most frequent germs. Conclusions: the epidemiological factors behaved similarly to those reported by other authors considering incidence rates of nosocomial infections.
Key words: epidemiological variables, nosocomial infections
