Abstract
Nosocomial pneumonia accounts for 10% to 20% of all nosocomial infections and represents one of the most serious complications of hospitalization. This review focuses on the etiology, pathogenesis, and prevention of nosocomial pneumonia, with emphasis on infection control procedures to prevent and minimize its occurrence.
