Infection control the set of methods used to control and prevent the spread of disease, preventing all types of microorganisms from infecting health workers and patients

Cross infection refers to the transmission of a pathogenic organism from one person to another

Infections - are caused by pathogens (germs)

Communicable disease – disease spread from one person to another

Infectious disease – caused by a pathogen (germ or bacteria)

Contaminated – means dirty, soiled, unclean

Disinfection – cleaning so that germs (pathogens) are destroyed

Mode of transmission – the way germs are passed from one person to another

Mucous membranes – membranes that line body cavities that open to the outside of the body

Nosocomial infection Any infection that is not present or incubating at the time the patient is admitted to the hospital

Sterilization A process intended to kill all microorganisms and is the highest level of microbial forms including endospores (germs) Disinfection a process less effective than sterilization because it does not kill bacterial endospores

MODES OF TRANSMISSION of infections

There are five main modes of transmission

Droplet Vector borne Air borne Contact Common vehicle

HOSPITAL INFECTIONS N.I

Nosocomial infections Nosocomial infection comes from Greek words “nosus” meaning

disease and “ komeion” meaning to take care of

Iinfections appearing in connection with in both:

in and out patients‘ stay in hospital.

They are also known as a hospital-acquired

infection.

They may occur either during or after

hospitalization

(48 hours or more after hospital admission or within 30

days after discharge).

“Any Infections are considered nosocomial if they first appear 48hrs or more after hospital admission or within 30 days after discharge”

Rresult of treatment in a hospital or hospital-like setting, but secondary

to the patient´s original condition.

One third of n.i. are considered preventable.

1-Crowded hospital conditions

2-New microorganism

3-Increasing number of people with compromised immune system

4-Increasing Bacterial resistance

Rise in nosocomial infection as a result of

four factor
