To estimate the rate of infectious diseases and the efficiency of medical care in our hospital, we conducted a prevalence survey of both infections and antibiotic use on 588 inpatients. Results showed that 125 patients (21% of the total) had infections; of these, 56 had nosocomial infections. A third of the patients had been receiving antimicrobial drugs; among them, 30% were receiving the drugs for prophylactic reasons. A misuse in the prophylaxis of infections was determined, particularly in the duration of treatment. The study demonstrated that an effective infection-control program and an antibiotic policy are required in our hospital.
