dc.description.abstractIntroduction: “Hospital-acquired infection (HAI)” can be defined as an infection acquired in hospital by a patient who wasadmitted for a reason other than that infection.Purpose: This study was done to observe the incidence of HAI (with bacteriological profile and their antibiotic susceptibilitypattern) in the Orthopaedics Ward of Bankura Sammilani Medical College.Materials and Methods: A total of 2062 patients admitted for more than 48 h were studied for 1 year for the detection of thedevelopment of any of the HAI during hospitalization. On suspicion of the development of an HAI, representative samples forthe diagnosis of a site-specific HAI were collected, processed, and interpreted. A total of 158 patients admitted for more than48 h showing clinical features of any one of the HAIs were selected for sampling.Results: From the 158 samples collected during the study period, samples from 92 patients were positive in bacteriological culture.Conclusion: The study attempts to understand the epidemiological profile of HAI in this tertiary care hospital in a non-urbanregion of eastern India to take necessary infection control measures.en_US
