Aims and Objectives: To monitor and evaluate possible hospital acquired infections and co-morbidities accompanying nosocomial infection, and monitor the risk factors. Materials and Methods: It is a prospective and observational study of six months in the department of general medicine. 100 patients satisfying inclusion criteria were evaluated. Results: The present study showed that ceftriaxone was most commonly prescribed antibiotic, followed by combination of piperacillin with tazobactam and amoxicillin with clavulanic acid. However multiple-therapies were found to be 22%. Conclusion: The present surveillance study suggests that continuous target monitoring, regular analysis of high-risk factors, and timely intervention measures could effectively reduce the incidence of nosocomial infections. The present study points out the need for improved patient education on adherence to therapy and development of antibiotic prescribing guidelines.
