The aim of this publication is to focus on a worldwide problem of hospital infections, that exists not only in Poland but also in other countries around the world. Authors tried to mention not only an epidemiologic and a financial aspect of hospital infections, but also the possible ways of fighting them. In Germany, problems of a sterilization, disinfection and hospital hygiene are of the same importance as are the diagnostics and medical treatment. About 4.5-12 percent of patients in Germany hospitals are treated because of hospital infections (like in the USA). Authors hope that newly established Polish Society of Hospital Infection will help not only in the exchange of experiences but will also coordinate the measures aimed at the improvement of hygiene status of Polish hospitals.
本出版物的目的是关注医院感染这一全球性问题，它不仅存在于波兰，也存在于世界其他国家。作者不仅试图提及医院感染的流行病学和财务方面，还提及对抗感染的可能方法。在德国，灭菌、消毒和医院卫生问题与诊断和医疗同样重要。德国医院约4.5% - 12%的患者因医院感染接受治疗（与美国情况类似）。作者希望新成立的波兰医院感染学会不仅有助于经验交流，还能协调旨在改善波兰医院卫生状况的措施。
