In children, the IH acquire prominence with the peculiar characteristics of the children, which are susceptible to NI and vulnerable to complications with repercussion for the health. Objective. Estimate incidence and physician epidemiologic aspects of NI at the pediatric nursery of a Universitary Hospital, localized in eastern Amazon on the period from January 2006 to December 2007. Methods. It was conduced a transversal observational study based in the collection of data of all the patients hospitalized at the pediatric nursery. The IH definition was determined in accordance with the criteria used from CDC. Results. In this period, 1,403 children at the pediatric nursery. Of the studied patients, 118 had presented NI acquired into the nursery and 33 patients had been referenced from other hospitals of the state, decurring of NI. The NI incidence into the pediatric nursery was of 8.41 patients with infections for each 100 admissions. Of the total of patients with NI, 23.1% had presented with more than one infection, totalizing 193 NI. The majority of patients with NI were male and younger than or with three years old. The most frequent infectious, correlating with risk factors, had been: pneumonia (malnutrition, long hospital permanence); urinary infection (urinary tract invasive procedures: catheterization, cistostomy); infections of the central nervous system (meningitis / ventriculitis) in hydrocephalic patients who had been submitted to ventriculoperitoneal shunt. Different rating of malnutrition and long hospital permanence had been the most associated factors. The etiological agents isolated responsible for the NI were: coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (S. epidermidis), Pseudomonas sp (P. aeruginosa) and Klebsiella sp. Candida sp. was the only fungi agent isolated. Profiles of bacterial resistance had been detected. About 109 patients died at the pediatric nursery, 20.1% in result of NI acquired into the studied hospital and 6.5% by infections acquired at other institutions.Acesso AbertoInfecção hospitalarInfecção em pediatriaFatores de riscoNosocomial infectionPediatric infectionRisk factorsCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE::MEDICINATrabalho de Curso - Graduação - Monografia
