Nosocomial Infection Among Children With Symptomatic Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2015
Abstract
A prospective cohort study was conducted during a 15-month period to compare nosocomial infections (NIs) among pediatric patients without (n = 989) and with (n = 50) symptomatic human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Patients with symptomatic HIV infection presented higher overall NI incidence density rates (relative risk, 1.65; P = .0001), and may represent a population at high risk for the acquisition of NI.
