The Etiology of Nosocomial Infections in Pediatric Patients at the Department of Child Health, School of Medicine Padjadjaran University Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung
Abstract
Tbe distribution of pathogens causing nosocomial gastroenteritis was E. coli (69.2%), Salmonella sp (23.1%), rotavirns (6.4%) and Shigella sp (1.3%) . Klebsiella pneumoniae seemed to be the pathogen most frequently associated with nosocomial skin infections (26. 7%), followed by Enterobacter aerogenes (20.0%), E. coli, Ps. Aeruginosa and S. aureus, each in 13.3% and others 03.4%). Salmonella sp was the pathogen most frequently associated with nosocomial bacteremia (20.2%), followed by Klebsiella sp 07.9%), S. a/bus 04.3%), Enterobacter sp 01.9%), Pseudomonas sp (9.5%), S. aureus (9.5%) and others (16. 7%). In nosocomial urinary tract infections, the result was E. coli (32.9%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (20.5%), Enterobacter sp 03. 7%), Citrobacter diversus (6.8%) and others (26.1%).
In general, E. coli was the most frequently reported pathogens ( 42.0%), followed by Salmonella sp 07.1%), Klebsiella sp (10.2%), Citrobacter sp (7.2%), S. a/bus (4.5%), Pseudomonas sp (4.2%), S. aureus (3.6%) and others 01.2%), respectively.
