JournalInfection control and hospital epidemiology
Year 2002
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.
