ABSTRACT

Introduction: The cross or hospital infections constitute an important health problem in all the hospitals of the world.
Objective: To describe the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of patients with hospital infections.
Methods: A descriptive and cross-sectional study of 57 patients with hospital acquired infections was carried out. They were admitted to the Internal Medicine Service of Saturnino Lora Clinical-surgical Teaching Provincial Hospital of Santiago de Cuba, from October to December, 2019, for which the variables age, associated diseases, predisposing factors, type of infection and isolated germs were analyzed.
Results: In the series the 60-69 years age group and hypertension as concomitant chronic disease (26.0 %) were notable. Among the predisposing factors nicotine addiction (32.8 %) was more frequent and the preponderant type of infection was the bacterial bronchopneumonia (47.0 %) whose causal germ in most of the cases (35.1 %) was the Klebsiella pneumoniae.
Conclusions: The hospital acquired infections mainly afflicted patients of advanced age with associated chronic diseases, as diabetes mellitus and hypertension. It is necessary to highlight the importance of knowing the existent microbial flora in the service where the infection is acquired, in order to achieve boththe prevention, the opportune diagnosis and the appropriate treatment.
