The purpose of this study was to determine NOSOCOMIAL INFECTIONS among patients admited in Baqyiatallah hospital during one year of period.Material and methods: The study was conducted prospectively during a period of 12 months from March to February 2005 Baqyiatallah hospital in Tehran, Iran. All patients who were hospitalized with no signs and symptoms of infection before the first 48 hours of hospitalization and presenting signs and symptoms of infection after 48 hours of hospitalization, were included in this study.Results: The prevalence of nosocomial infection during this study period was 3.9%.The most NOSOCOMIAL INFECTIONS were belonged to intensive care unit (ICU). The most prevalent organism was Staphylococcus aureus (41%) followed by Pseudomonas auroginosa (20.7%). The most nosocomial microorganisms were isolated from samples obtained from lower respiratory tract (43.6%) and wounds (35.3%).Conclusion: NOSOCOMIAL INFECTIONS rate in current study was lower than those reported by other researchers; however, the most prevalence of NOSOCOMIAL INFECTIONS were observed in ICU and among the patients with more than 50 years of ages.
