Abstract: Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics, risk factors and prevention measures of nosocomial infection in senile patients with hematologic disorders. Methods The clinical data of 581 senile patients with hematologic disorders from July 2005 to June 2007 were retrospectively analyzed. Results The nosoeomial infection rate was 30.5%(177/581). The 581cases developed nosocomial infection for 254 times [43.7% (254/581)]. Lower respiratory tract infection was the most frequent infection site, followed by intestinal infection and upper respiratory infection. The species were predominated by Gram-negative bacillus (67.1%) . The risk factors of nosocomial infection were non-remission of malignant diseases,chronic underlying diseases, long time hospitaliation, community infection, granulocytopenia, invasive manipulation and application of adrenocortical hormone and antibiotic. Conclusions The nosoeomial infection rate is high in senile patients with hematologic disorders and it can be decreased by taking prevention measures according to the risk factors.
