title: [Neonatal nosocomial infection at a pediatric resuscitation and intensive care unit].
abstract: During 1989, a nosocomial infection rate of 3.15% was observed among the 412 neonates hospitalised for more than 2 days in the paediatric intensive care unit and a special care baby unit in the medical centre of Nice. Certain factors only partially explain the above, and it is probable that the non-invasive methods of monitoring and care and the experienced nursing staff contribute to a great extent to this low frequency of infection.
