Abstract

Despite recent scientific advances in diagnosis and treatment of human infections, bacterial infections continue to affect human health. The rate of morbidity and mortality caused by staphylococcal infections remains high and continues to be a threat to public health worldwide. Staphylococcal infections affect the population at risk regardless the level of country development. The highest risk categories include people with immunodeficiency, those with prolonged antibiotic treatment and repeated hospitalizations, patients with implanted medical devices or undergoing medical invasive procedures. The objective of this study was to analyse the influence of staphylococcal infection diagnosed during hospitalization on the evolution of patients admitted during two consecutive years, in surgical and intensive care wards in IRGH (Regional Institute of Gastroenterology and Hepatology) Cluj-Napoca, Romania, having as main diagnosis of hospitalization surgical digestive diseases along with other comorbidities. The occurrence of staphylococcal infection was associated with increased morbidity and mortality rates in patients included in the study.
