ABSTRACT
The aspects related to the postsurgical infections are exposed, which not only have scientific interest, but also constitute a true socioeconomic problem, since they elevate the morbidity and mortality indexes, as well as the hospital costs. From the social point of view, they determine the valuation of the citizens regarding the institutional inability, the health professionals prestige and the family stability rupture, attributable to the loss of loved relatives or their total, partial, temporary or definitive disability.REFERENCES
