In the course of hospitalization 430 (13.3%) patients had at least one infection. Among infections urinary infections predominated which were found in 92% of catheterized patients. As to the aetiology, E. coli was found most frequently. From the whole group 1642 (51%) patients were operated. In the category of clean surgical wounds an early infection was detected in 3.7% of the operated patients; depending on the degree of contamination in the other categories this complication was found in 6.8, 19.5 and 28.0% of the operated patients.
