住院病人吃了食堂的饭菜,出现急性胃肠炎,诊断是肠毒素引起,而非病原菌直接引起,算不算医院感染呢?
按照我国现行的诊断标准,好像不是的。
但是美国2008年修订的诊断标准,这样说:
For the purposes of NHSN surveillance in the acute care setting, the CDC defines an HAI as a localized or systemic condition resulting from an adverse reaction to the presence of an infectious agent(s) or its toxin(s). There must be no evidence that the infection was present
or incubating at the time of admission to the acute care setting.
......微生物或它们产生的毒素引起的局部或全身不良反应,定义为医院感染(HAI).
