【 摘 要 】

Nosocomial infections appear in patients treated in hospital, which are not the initial cause of admission. A retrospective study concerning nosocomial infections was conducted to provide data about the amount, frequency and types of nosocomial infections in the rehabilitation ward in the Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation Clinic of Lublin. The study was conducted on a group of 49 patients that were admitted or transferred to the ward over a period of 20 months in the years 2018–2020. The patients and therefore the infections were divided by age, sex, time of hospitalization and the underlying disease. The study also provided data about the most frequent infection types in these patients, as well as the most commonly used drugs to treat those infections. The results showed that in fact all of the examined factors have an impact on the frequency of nosocomial infections appearance rates. Furthermore, results in the study showed that factors examined by the study also have an impact on what type of infection was present in these groups of patients.
