Background: Nosocomial infections (NI): ?defined as those occurring within 48 hours of hospital admission,3 days of discharge or 30 days of an operation?. NI is Major complication in pediatric patients at different hospital wards. NI is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Studies had shown that NI are associated with prolonged hospital stay and increase economic burden on the health care system. Objectives:-Identify the commonest organism which causes nosocomial BSI, pneumonia or UTI among pediatric patients at KAUH,2015-2016.To-know the prevalence of nosocomial BSI, pneumonia and UTI among pediatric patients atKAUH,2015-2016.-Identify the commonest predisposing factors which lead to nosocomial BSI, pneumonia and UTI among pediatric patients at KAUH,2015-2016. Methods:This is a retrospective study done at King Abdulaziz University Hospital Jeddah Saudi Arabia 2015-2016.This include all pediatric patients who developed fever after 48 hours of hospital admission, 3days of discharge or 30 days of an operation in pediatric ward 2015-1016. Results:The number of patients who admitted was 1502 patients,111 patients got NI. Infants are more reliable to have NI by(62.2%).Patient who had cardiovascular disease(18.9%)is more susceptible to have NI. The commonest type of infections were UTI(25.2%), BSI(21.6%) and pneumonia(19.8%).Gram negative were the dominant(48.9%).The commonest pathogen was Coagulase negative staphylococci(25.3%).The most predisposing factors were Immunosuppressive medications(22.5%),Central venous catheter(22.5%)and Nasogastric tube(19.8%). Conclusions: Infant patients are more reliable to get NI. The UTI is the commonest type of infection. Gram negative are the commonest but, the Coagulase negative staphylococci is the common organism. Immunosuppressive medications, Central venous catheter and Nasogastric tube are the most predisposing factors.
