Abstract
The interest for nosocomial infections has been increased in the past 20 years. Nosocomial infections are an important problem because these increase the patient's morbidity, the patient's mortality and the cost of the hospital. This article reviews recent developments for the understanding of pathogenesis, predisposing factors of infection and efficacy of nosocomial infection surveillance and control programmes.
