Nosocomial infections (NI) are still a major cause of morbidity among gynecology & obstetrics patients (GOP). At the Instituto Nacional de Perinatología (INPer), during 1989, there was an overall NI rate of 2.37 per 100 GOP discharged, while specific NI rates for the subgroups of puerperal and gynecologic surgery patients were 2.11 and 6.3 respectively. Endometritis and infected surgical wounds were the most frequent type of NI, having a multimicrobial etiology. There was a significant increase in hospital days of stay for those patients who developed NI. It is clearly necessary to improve the surveillance of NI as well as the collaboration among different wards dealing with GOP, in order to find more effective and efficient ways to prevent the development of NI.
医院感染（NI）仍是妇产科患者（GOP）发病的主要原因。在国家围产医学研究所（INPer），1989年期间，每100例出院的GOP患者中，医院感染总体发生率为2.37，而产后和妇科手术患者亚组的特定医院感染发生率分别为2.11和6.3。子宫内膜炎和手术伤口感染是最常见的医院感染类型，其病因是多种微生物。发生医院感染的患者住院天数显著增加。显然有必要加强医院感染监测以及不同处理GOP患者科室之间的协作，以便找到更有效和高效的方法来预防医院感染的发生。
