Health care-associated infections are those that do not meet the definition of nosocomial but are acquired by patients with extensive exposure to the health care system placing them at higher risk for resistant organisms. This category is particularly common among elderly patients. The objective of this study was to describe and compare the epidemiologic characteristics of community-acquired, health care-associated and nosocomial bloodstream infections in a geriatric population.
