ABSTRACT
Introduction. A relationship between the seasons of the year and infectious diseases has been recently reported.
Material and methods. Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional and prospective study of four seasonal periods.
Results. From week 1 to 10, 46 positive cultures with a predominance of
S. aureus (10.5%) were reported. From week
11 to 25, 214 positive cultures were reported, prevailing
E. coli with 61.4% and secondly
A. baumanii complex with
23.1%. For weeks 26 to 38, 229 cultures were reported, being
E. Coli the bacteria with the highest presence in the
cultures (50.3%) followed by yeasts with 36.2%. Finally, in week 39 to 52, 126 cultures were reported, yeasts.
Conclusion. E. coli is an important nosocomial pathogen, in hospitals it is associated with a seasonal and persistent
variation in infection rates. Identify the seasonal variation cause can be important for the prevention measures design.
