The study was conducted among patients admitted to the medical ward from June 1, 2019, to January 31, 2020, in AL-Sader medical city. The surveillance for nosocomial diarrhea was performed by monitoring every patient in the ward 3 times\/week. 1050 patients were admitted to the medical ward in AL-Sader medical city. Of these, 52 patients (mean age 58\u00b112.91 years, range 32 to 80) developed new-onset diarrhea during hospitalization. There was a significant relationship between the severity of diarrhea and age, residence, antibiotic use, including number and duration of antibiotics, immunosuppressive agents (steroids\/chemotherapy), duration of hospital stay, level of consciousness, and enema use. Nosocomial diarrhea is a significant clinical problem that complicates about 5% of all admission in the medical ward. Various microorganisms account for nosocomial diarrhea, including <jats:italic>E. histolytica, G. lamblia<\/jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>Candida<\/jats:italic>. Several risk factors associated with the severe form of nosocomial diarrhea include old age, antibiotic use, immunosuppressive use, and length of hospital stay.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.25122\/jml-2021-0275","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,18]],"date-time":"2022-11-18T16:35:48Z","timestamp":1668789348000},"page":"132-137","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Assessment of the incidence and etiology of nosocomial diarrhea in a medical ward in Iraq"],"prefix":"10.25122","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Ammar Jabbar","family":"Hamad","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"Department of Medicine, College of Medicine, University of Kufa, Al-Najaf, Iraq","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aseel Jassim","family":"Albdairi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"Department of Physiology, College of Medicine, University of Kufa, Al-Najaf, Iraq","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Samer Nema Yassen","family":"Alkemawy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"Department of Medicine, College of Medicine, University of Kufa, Al-Najaf, Iraq","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Safaa Ali","family":"Khudair","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"Department of Medicine, College of Medicine, University of Kufa, Al-Najaf, Iraq","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Noor Rafea","family":"Abdulhadi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"Department of Medicine, Al Sadar Medical City, Al-Najaf, Iraq","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"10755","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"1.
