Nosocomial infection means hospital-acquired infection. In this article we discuss treatment of nosocomial infections which relate to, or arise as a consequence of, general surgical procedures. Most such infections become apparent during the patient's stay in hospital, but some patients with nosocomial infection first present to their general practitioners after discharge and this group should not be overlooked.
