Abstract
PURPOSE: Nosocomial infection has known many definitions for many years. We looked at their terminological validation and proposed a definition that takes more into account the defaults that we put in light. METHODS: Our method is a terminological one based on analyze of concepts character. RESULTS: Definition of nosocomial infection are insufficient and don't take into account characters of concepts of "infection" and "nosocomial" and also the possible contaminated persons. CONCLUSIONS: We propose a new definition of nosocomial infection and hope that we create a debate around it.
