        • Additional fields of expertise
        • Definition(s)
          • A nosocomial infection is contracted because of an infection or toxin that exists in a certain location, such as a hospital.

        • Definition(s)
          • 병원감염은 “병원 환경에서 얻은 감염”이란 의미의 “hospital acquired infection” 또는 그리스어원의 병원을 의미하는 “nosocomial”에서 유래한 “nosocomial infection”이라고도 한다. 경희의료원 - by Sung-Hoon Park
