| Summary: | The problem of prevention and treatment of hospital-acquired (nosocomial) infections excites progressive minds of humanity for centuries. The risk and incidence of nosocomial infections are constantly increasing. It becomes harder and harder to fight with them. Special attention is paid to nosocomial infections caused by resistant gram-negative organisms. This is a problem for clinics in all countries. National programs for the prevention of the development and spread of resistant strains have been developed in the majority of countries. Infectious complications develop more frequently and more severe in cancer patients than in non-cancer patients. Infectious complications in these patients are mainly associated with hospital-acquired infections. Complications caused by resistant gram-negative microorganisms, such as P. aeruginosa, A. baumannii and K. rneumoniae are especially dangerous complications. The clinical management of these patients is difficult and requires teamwork of microbiologists and clinicians. |
