Nosocomial infections
The number of reported VBI in our country and in other years is similar, according to the data of the National Center for Infectious and Parasitic Diseases. About 2 million patients pass through the country's hospitals annually. Studies show that in developed countries, the incidence of these infections is between 3 and 10 percent. Relative to the hospitalizations in Bulgaria, this would mean between 60,000 and 200,000 people. According to the specialists, this means that either not all VBIs are registered in our country or we are the world record holder for the small number of them.
