Abstract:ObjectiveTo understand the status of nosocomial infection (NI) and communityacquired infection (CAI) and antimicrobial use in Fujian Province, and provide the evidence for targeted monitoring.MethodsAll inpatients in 116 hospitals were requested to make a prevalence survey of NI and CAI and antimicrobial use by bedside visiting and patients’ medical records checking, and data were analysed statiscally.ResultsA total of 116 surveyed data were collected, 113(97.41%) of which were qualified , 48 947 patients were actually investigated.1 595 (3.26%) patients developed 1 739 cases(3.55%) of NI ; 9 751(19.92%) patients developed 10 062 cases(22.56%) of CAI.The major infection site was lower respiratory tract, which accounting for 49.34% of NI,and 45.70% of CAI. Gramnegative bacilli were the major pathogens , and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the most common pathogen(15.05%) in NI,Escherichia coli was the major pathogen in CAI(8.90%). The departments with high NI prevalence rates were general intensive care unit (38.22%,99/259), hematological unit(12.54%, 85/678), and neurosurgical unit(9.44%, 152/1 611); the department with high CAI prevalence were nonneonatal group of pediatric unit (82.02%, 2 053/2 503), respiratory unit(70.46%, 1 577/ 2 238), neonatal group in pediatric unit(52.23%, 409/783). The daily usage rate of antimicrobial agents was 38.28% (18 738/48 947), and pathogen detection rate in patients with curative antimicrobial use was 42.68%(4 735/11 093).ConclusionThe management of departments with high NI rate should be strengthened , pathogen detection rate should be enhanced, monitor on multidrugresistant pathogens and management of antimicrobial agents should be intensified.
