Correct Answer - Option 2 : Nosocomial infection

Explanation:

  • Nosocomial infections, also called health-care-associated or hospital-acquired infections, are a subset of infectious diseases acquired in a healthcare facility.
  • To be considered nosocomial, the infection cannot be present at admission; rather, it must develop at least 48 hours after admission.

  • Nosocomial (hospital-acquired) infection is an infection originating in a patient while in a hospital or other health care facility.
  • It denotes a new disorder (unrelated to the patient's primary condition) associated with being in a hospital.
  • That is, it was not present or incubating at the time of admission or the residual of an infection acquired during the previous admission.
  • It includes infections acquired in the hospital but appearing after discharge, and also such infections among the staff of the facility. Examples include infection of surgical wounds, hepatitis B And urinary tract infections.
