The frequency of nosocomial infection is increasing. The most common sites of such infection are the urinary tract, surgical wounds, the lower part of the respiratory tract, and the skin and subcutaneous tissues. Various techniques are available for prevention of nosocomial infections, but among the most important aspects are understanding and acceptance of responsibility by hospital personnel. The establishment of a surveillance system with a nurse epidemiologist to serve as liaison and educator among professional and ancillary groups within the hospital may be hard to justify on a cost basis to hospital administrators but is important in the control of nosocomial infections.
医院感染的发生率正在上升。此类感染最常见的部位是泌尿道、手术伤口、下呼吸道以及皮肤和皮下组织。预防医院感染有多种技术可用，但其中最重要的方面是医院工作人员对责任的理解和接受。设立一个由护士流行病学家组成的监测系统，以在医院内的专业和辅助人员群体之间充当联络人和教育者，从成本角度向医院管理人员说明其合理性可能很困难，但对控制医院感染很重要。
