Abstract

Currently available data on the diagnosis, and treatment of nosocomial infections at neurosurgical patients were discussed according to principles of evidence-based medicine. We represented data about main groups of nosocomial infections — postoperative pyoninflammatory complication, including the definition of neurosurgical site infection, pneumonia, intravascular device-related and urinary tract infection.
