title: Neonatal nosocomial infections.
abstract: Prevention of infection in the high-risk infant presents a challenge for all members of the health care team. The infant's condition must be constantly assessed for risk factors, and a plan of care must be developed to reduce that risk. That plan requires a thorough understanding of the multiple factors (the infant host, potential pathogens, and therapeutic procedures) involved in neonatal infections and strict adherence to infection control procedures.
