AB  - Nosocomial  infections  are  the  single  most  common  adverse  event  experienced  by  hospitalized  children  and  adults.  A  recent  multicenter  survey  found  that  6%  of  patients  develop  nosocomial  infections  during  admission  to  an  acute  care  hospital.1  A  point  prevalence  study  performed  in  30  pediatric  facilities  in  Canada  found  an  8.7%  prevalence  of  healthcare-associated  infections  and  the  prevalence  was  greatest  for  patients  in  intensive  care  units  and  oncology  wards.2
