title: [The existing profile of nosocomial infections in municipal hospitals of general surgery].
abstract: Nosocomial infections (NIs) are identified in health care facilities around the world as one of the main health problems and mortality of hospitalized patients, which are why continuous monitoring is required and also their prevention and control measures. In two urban hospitals for general surgery (A and B) we studied 1209 files in hospital A and 739 files in hospital B, retrospectively, for a period of eight months. Official reported frequency was 0.88% IN (A) and 0% (B). The frequency of retrospectively identified NIs cases was 9.34% (A) and 9.60% (B) surgical of which wound infections represented 8.68% (A) and 9.60% (B) of all admissions, respectively 92.92% (A) and 100% (B) of all reported cases of NIs. NIs' frequency is significantly higher than officially reported, which encroaches on taking complex appropriate professional and effective prevention and control measures, affecting the quality of care, complicating the underlying disease causing it and can evolutivity and squeals, or cause patients' death.
