Seven hundred patients admitted to the wards of the Department of Obstetrics/Gynaecology of Tikur Anbessa Hospital, Addis Ababa, between January and July 1984 were studied for the incidence of nosocomial infections. The overall hospital infection rate was 17.0%, with wound infection at 47% followed by urinary-tract infection at 15%. Over 80% of the bacterial isolates were Gram-negative bacteria, the majority of which were multiply resistant to the commonly used antibacterial drugs. Some hospital risk factors have been identified. The findings are discussed in the light of reports on nosocomial infections from hospitals of developed countries.
1984年1月至7月期间，对亚的斯亚贝巴提库尔·安贝萨医院妇产科病房收治的700名患者进行了医院感染发生率的研究。医院总体感染率为17.0%，其中伤口感染率为47%，其次是尿路感染率为15%。超过80%的细菌分离株为革兰氏阴性菌，其中大多数对常用抗菌药物多重耐药。已确定了一些医院危险因素。根据发达国家医院关于医院感染的报告对研究结果进行了讨论。
