ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the risk factors and the pathogens of nosocomial infection in preterm infants.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The medical data of 197 preterm infants with nosocomial infection were retrospectively studied.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The incidence of nosocomial infection was 22.2% (197/887). Small gestational age (OR=4.125, p<0.05), low birth weight (OR=5.450, p<0.05), mechanical ventilation therapy (OR=4.435, p<0.05) and delayed enteral feedings (OR=3.765, p<0.05) were found to be important risk factors for nosocomial infection. Klebsiella was the main pathogen (22.3%), followed by Staphylococcus (18.4%).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Hygienic handwashing, decreasing invassive procedures and an early start of enteral feeding are crucial for preventing nosocomal infection in preterm infants. Klebsiella is the main pathogen of nosocomal infections.</p>
