The purpose of this study was to evaluate the nosocomial infections in Intensive Care Units (ICU), Konya Numune Hospital, Konya, Turkey. Data were collected between January 2006 and December 2008. Patients admitted to ICU were daily visited and data collected were recorded in a form. Totally 10152 patients were hospitalized in the ICU for an aggregate duration of 43499 days. Totally 436 infection attacks were observed. The incidence density was 10.02/1000 patient days. The mean central-line-associated bloodstream infection rate was 15.2/1,000 central line days, the catheter-associated urinary tract infection rate 5.5/1,000 catheter days and VAP rate 9.1/1,000 ventilator days. Of all nosocomial infections, 411 (94.2%) were culture-confirmed and 25 (5.7%) were clinically defined culture-negative infections. Of the culture-confirmed nosocomial infections, 264 (64.2%) were gram-negative, 112(27.3%) gram-positive and 35 (8.5%) Candida spp. The most frequent organism was Acinetobacter baumannii (67, 16.3%) followed by Staphylococcus aureus (48, 11.6%) and Escherichia coli (44, 10.7%). The data acquired through this surveillance might contribute to the development of effective infection control strategies in our hospital.
