English term or phrase: nosocomial infection
Definition from HealthLine:
A nosocomial infection is contracted because of an infection or toxin that exists in a certain location, such as a hospital. People now use nosocomial infections interchangeably with the terms health-care associated infections (HAIs) and hospital-acquired infections. For a HAI, the infection must not be present before someone has been under medical care.

Example sentence(s):
  • Researchers from Queen Mary Hospital in Hong Kong reported that zero healthcare workers contracted COVID-19 and no hospital-acquired (nosocomial) infections were identified after the first six weeks of the outbreak, even as the health system tested 1,275 suspected cases and treated 42 active confirmed cases of COVID-19. Eleven healthcare workers, out of 413 involved in treating confirmed cases, had unprotected exposure and were quarantined for 14 days. None became ill.

  • The first victim of hospital-acquired coronavirus in the UK has been identified in a development that has fuelled concerns the disease is spreading within hospitals. The Guardian
  • Ensure optimal care options for all hospitalized patients, lessen the risk of nosocomial infections, and maintain the integrity of the healthcare system. Ensure that those who are at highest risk of complication of infection are rapidly identified and appropriately triaged. EHS Today

nozokomijalna infekcija


Definition from neonatologija.rs:
Bolnička (intrahospitalna, nozokomijalna) infekcija definiše se kao lokalno ili sistemsko oboljenje koje nije bilo prisutno, niti je pacijent bio u inkubaciji prilikom prijema u bolnicu ili neku drugu zdravstvenu ustanovu

Example sentence(s):
  • Podela nozokomijalnih infekcija prema poreklu uzročnika, izvori infekcije - reserachgate  
  • Nozokomijalnim infekcijama urinarnog tra-kta (NIUT) smatraju se infekcije koje nastaju najmanje 48 sati po prijemu na bolničko lečenje. - KORELACIJA IZMEĐU BAKTERIOLOŠKIH, LABO  
  • Infekcija se uglavnom prenosi seksualnim putem ili intravenskim uzimanjem narkotika. Nozokomijalna infekcija se beleži relativno i retko, u malim sredinama (porodica, neka bolnička odeljenja) i po pravilu je vezana za loše primenjene univerzalne mere prevencije ili nepažljivo rukovanje medicinskim instrumentima. - stetoskop.info
