Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1987
Nosocomial pneumonias are a particularly problematic group of infections. The pathogenesis of these pneumonias, including mechanisms of colonization and pulmonary defense mechanisms, is discussed. An approach to the hospitalized patient with fever and infiltrates, based on the clinical setting, the nature of the host defense defect, the radiographic ...

Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases, 1993
Nosocomial stroke occurs during hospitalization for unrelated problems. Increased understanding of this relatively ignored entity may provide the key to improved stroke prophylaxis for the hospitalized patient at risk and provide clues to the precipitants of stroke in the general population. We compared nosocomial stroke to stroke occurring outside the

American Review of Respiratory Disease, 1982
Abstract Hospital employees are at risk of contracting tuberculosis from patients. The undiagnosed case with sputum-smear positive for acid-fast bacilli is the usual source case. However, even the smear-negative patient may pose a risk.

Infection Control, 1984
AbstractWe analyzed 14 cases of nosocomial infective endocarditis which occurred over a seven-year period at the Beth Israel Hospital in Boston, and compared them with 90 cases of community-acquired endocarditis. Patients with nosocomial endocarditis were older, more often female, and had a greater incidence of underlying valvular heart disease and ...

Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 1999
Toroviruses have been reported as a new cause of nosocomial viral diarrhoea, and the role of astroviruses has been further elucidated. Polymerase chain reaction methods promise to improve the diagnosis and understanding of the aetiology and control of hospital-acquired viral gastroenteritis.

To study the occurrence of nosocomial diarrhea in pediatric wards and the role of infections in its causation.75 cases conforming to the CDC definition of nosocomial diarrhea were selected for the study. Stool samples were subjected to direct microscopic examination, bacteriological culture and direct antigen detection for Clostridium difficile (C ...

Journal of Hospital Infection, 1997
When the larvae of flies invade man the clinical picture is referred to as 'myiasis'. When myiasis occurs in a patient after hospitalization the disease is termed nosocomial myiasis, a very infrequent phenomenon. The present investigation was conducted to record the cases of nosocomial myiasis documented worldwide.
