- Abstract
Within a 3-years period the presence of nosocomial bacteriaemias was analyzed retrospectively among 13.878 hospitalized patients. The incidence was 0.050%. Antibiotic prophylaxis and the operative technique play an important role in achieving a low incidence of morbidity due to infection. The management of a severe infection includes antibiotic therapy according to culture sensitivity and intensive care.
