English term or phrase: nosocomial infection
Definition from HealthLine:
A nosocomial infection is contracted because of an infection or toxin that exists in a certain location, such as a hospital. People now use nosocomial infections interchangeably with the terms health-care associated infections (HAIs) and hospital-acquired infections. For a HAI, the infection must not be present before someone has been under medical care.

Example sentence(s):
  • Researchers from Queen Mary Hospital in Hong Kong reported that zero healthcare workers contracted COVID-19 and no hospital-acquired (nosocomial) infections were identified after the first six weeks of the outbreak, even as the health system tested 1,275 suspected cases and treated 42 active confirmed cases of COVID-19. Eleven healthcare workers, out of 413 involved in treating confirmed cases, had unprotected exposure and were quarantined for 14 days. None became ill.

  • The first victim of hospital-acquired coronavirus in the UK has been identified in a development that has fuelled concerns the disease is spreading within hospitals. The Guardian
  • Ensure optimal care options for all hospitalized patients, lessen the risk of nosocomial infections, and maintain the integrity of the healthcare system. Ensure that those who are at highest risk of complication of infection are rapidly identified and appropriately triaged. EHS Today

hoitoon liittyvä infektio


Definition from Terveyskirjasto:
Hoitoon liittyväksi infektioksi kutsutaan sellaista bakteerin, viruksen tai sienen aiheuttamaa infektiotautia, joka on saanut alkunsa potilaan hoidon tai hoivan aikana. Aiemmin tartuntatautilaissa käytettiin termiä ”sairaalainfektio”, mutta hoitoon liittyviä infektioita voi kehittyä myös pitkäaikaista hoivaa ja hoitoa antavissa laitoksissa ja lääkärien ja hoitajien vastaanotoillakin.

Example sentence(s):
  • Hoitoon liittyviä infektioita (aiemmin sairaalainfektio) seurataan Suomessa valtakunnallisesti sairaalainfektio-ohjelmassa (SIRO). ... Ohjelmassa seurataan niitä hoitoon liittyviä infektiota, joilla on huomattava kansanterveydellinen merkitys. - Lapin sairaanhoitopiiri  
  • Hoitoon liittyvän infektion on täytettävä kolme ehtoa. Sen voi aiheuttaa mikä tahansa mikrobi (bakteeri, sieni, virus tai alkueläin) tai mikrobin toksiini. Jos infektio todetaan jo hoitoon tulon yhteydessä, kyseessä ei ole hoitoon liittyvä infektio, ellei se ole peräisin jo edelliseltä hoitojaksolta tai toisessa yksikössä annetusta hoidosta. - Duodecim  
  • Sairaalassa ollessaan voi myös itse vaikuttaa hoitoon liittyvän infektion riskiin. - Terveyskylä
