Abstract

Nosocomial infections are relatively common in the NICU. These infections increase morbidity and mortality, particularly in the smallest and most fragile infants. The impact of these infections on long-term outcomes and health-care costs is devastating. Worldwide efforts to decrease the incidence of nosocomial infections have focused on implementing specific prevention protocols such as handwashing, central line teams, care bundles, and antimicrobial stewardship. This review summarizes common nosocomial infections in patients in the NICU.
