Abstract:
The escalating incidence of healthcare infections and the alarming rise of antibiotic resistance underscore the urgent need for a local antibiotic protocol tailored to specific antibiotic sensitivities. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the proportion of healthcare-associated infections in the pediatric intensive care units. Hence, we collected 102 samples from patients admitted to the pediatric intensive care units or emergency ward for at least 48 hours with new complaints in the age group of 1 month to 14 years. We identified a total of 102 healthcare-associated infections out of 380 suspected cases, indicating a proportion of 26.84%. Thus, a higher proportion of healthcare-associated infections in pediatric intensive care units are reported.
