Journal of Hospital Infection, 2007
Scabies is a parasitic dermatosis with a worldwide distribution. This infestation affects millions of people annually and may cause large nosocomial outbreaks with considerable morbidity among patients and healthcare workers. Immunocompromised or elderly institutionalized patients admitted with unrecognized crusted scabies are the main source of ...

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.

Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2000
Numerous reports of endemic legionellosis have been published within the past year. The scope has been expanded to longterm care facilities, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, and pediatric hospitals. The institutional water supply has been the source in all reports and aspiration was explicitly linked as the mode of transmission in several reports.

Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2007
The suspicion of meningitis in a patient hospitalized for another condition remains a vexing clinical problem. The abrupt onset of typical signs and symptoms of acute bacterial meningitis in someone with a previously normal mental status is very unusual, and when it occurs, it does not pose a diagnostic challenge.

Critical Care Clinics, 1998
Nosocomial diarrheas are an important problem in hospitals, and in critical care units in particular. Hospital-acquired diarrhea may be on an infectious or noninfectious basis. Common noninfectious causes of nosocomial diarrhea include medication-induced changes in the fecal flora or changes secondary to enteral hyperalimenation.

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.

Nosocomial pneumonia remains an important infection that warrants continuing investigation. The past year has seen a number of reports further describing risk factors, controversial issues around diagnosis, and potential preventive strategies. For specific infecting organisms such as Legionnaire's disease and tuberculosis, further reports of issues ...

The hospital acquired pneumonia (HAP) is one of the most common infections acquired among hospitalised patients. Within the HAP, the ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the most common nosocomial infection complication among patients with acute respiratory failure.
