In 1983 a national prevalence survey was conducted in Italy to discover the general distribution of infection among patients in public hospitals. Thirty-four thousand, five hundred and seventy-seven acute patients were surveyed in 130 hospitals spread throughout the country: 6668 patients (19.3%) had an active infection at the time of the survey; the infection was hospital-acquired in 2361 (6.8%) and community-acquired in 4307 (12.5%). The urinary tract was the site most frequently involved in hospital infection (30.2% of patients with hospital-acquired infection). The respiratory tract was the site most often involved in community infections (35.7% for the lower tract and 9.1% for the upper). Hospital-acquired infections were more frequent in intensive care units (12.4%) and in geriatric (11.6%), orthopaedic (8.2%) and surgical wards (7.6%). The prevalence of urinary tract infection was 10.4% among the 9.4% of patients who were catheterized compared with a prevalence of 2.6% in the uncatheterized. Thirty-five point five per cent of patients were receiving an antimicrobial on the day of the survey.
1983年，意大利进行了一项全国患病率调查，以了解公立医院患者感染的总体分布情况。在全国130家医院对34577名急性病患者进行了调查：6668名患者（19.3%）在调查时患有活动性感染；其中2361例（6.8%）为医院获得性感染，4307例（12.5%）为社区获得性感染。泌尿道是医院感染最常累及的部位（占医院获得性感染患者的30.2%）。呼吸道是社区感染最常累及的部位（下呼吸道占35.7%，上呼吸道占9.1%）。医院获得性感染在重症监护病房（12.4%）、老年病房（11.6%）、骨科病房（8.2%）和外科病房（7.6%）更为常见。在接受导尿的9.4%的患者中，尿路感染的患病率为10.4%，而未接受导尿的患者患病率为2.6%。在调查当天，35.5%的患者正在接受抗菌药物治疗。
