WHO [12] defines a health care-associated infection (also called “nosocomial”) as:
•An
infection acquired in hospital by a patient who was admitted for a
reason other than that infection.
•An
infection occurring in a patient in a hospital or other health-care
facility in whom the infection was not present or incubating at the time
of admission. This includes infections acquired in the hospital but
appearing after discharge, and also occupational infections among staff
of the facility.
