Abstract (English):	Introduction: Nosocomial infections in obstetrics and gynecology are an important cause of morbidity and mortality, the most frequent in the surgical site. Objective: To analyze the incidence of nosocomial infections related to major interventions most frequently performed in the service of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Methods: Prospective study of 715 patients undergoing surgery, of caesarean section and abdominal or vaginal hysterectomy at the Hospital La Inmaculada of Huercal-Overa (Almería, Spain) in the period from October 31, 2008 and August 30, 2011. Variables were analyzed as Cumulative Incidence and Incidence Density for each type of nosocomial infection detected, separately for each type of intervention. Also calculated adjusted incidences NNIS index (Nacional Nosocomial Infection Surveillance System). Results: We detected 30 nosocomial infections (4.2%). The nosocomial infection most frequently diagnosed in our study was the endometritis after cesarean, being the most frequent microorganism detected E. Coli. Conclusions: Nosocomial infections, particularly surgical site infections are a potentially serious problem and relatively frequent, which is related to increased morbidity, is important to perform adequate prophylaxis and make a correct surveillance for diagnosis and an early start of treatment.

Abstract (Spanish):	Introducción: Las infecciones nosocomiales en Obstetricia y Ginecología son causa importante de morbilidad y mortalidad, siendo las más frecuente las de localización quirúrgica. Objetivo: Analizar la incidencia de infecciones nosocomiales relacionadas con las intervenciones mayores más frecuentemente realizadas en Obstetricia y Ginecología. Métodos: Estudio prospectivo de 715 pacientes intervenidas de cesárea o histerectomía abdominal o vaginal, en el Hospital La Inmaculada de Huércal-Overa (Almería, España) en el periodo comprendido entre el 31 de octubre de 2008 y de 30 de agosto de 2011. Se han analizado como variables la Incidencia Acumulada y la Densidad de Incidencia para cada tipo de infección nosocomial detectada, independientemente para cada tipo de intervención. También se han calculado las incidencias ajustadas por el índice NNIS (Nacional Nosocomial Infection Surveillance System). Resultados: Se detectaron 30 infecciones nosocomiales (4,2%). La infección nosocomial diagnosticada con mayor frecuencia fue la endometritis tras cesárea, siendo el microorganismo más frecuentemente detectado la Eschericia Coli. Conclusiones: Las infecciones nosocomiales, en concreto las infecciones de localización quirúrgica, son un problema potencialmente grave y relativamente frecuente, que se relaciona con una mayor morbilidad, siendo importante realizar una profilaxis adecuada y una correcta vigilancia para el diagnóstico e instauración precoz del tratamiento.
