Pattern and Frequency of Nosocomial Infections in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at East Jeddah General Hospital, Saudi Arabia.

Background Because of the use of invasive devices and procedures in critically sick patients, patients in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) are particularly vulnerable to nosocomial infections. Although a significant illness may necessitate admission to the PICU, infections can also emerge after admission. Nosocomial infection is a major public health issue related to increased morbidity, death, and healthcare costs.
