title: [Nosocomial infection in BPH: economic costs and increase in hospital stay].
abstract: We present a cohort study where 40 matched pairs of patient (infected and no infected) were included. All of the patients had prostatic benign hyperplasia and open surgery or thransuretral resection was developed. Infected patients stay 3 days more in the hospital and they cost 120.000 pts more than uninfected patients.
