Infections in Fresno Hospitals

Fresno Hospital Infection and Medical Malpractice

An infection is considered a "hospital infection" if the infection develops in a hospital patient whose original diagnosis was not related to the infection. Common examples of hospital infections include urinary tract infections, surgical site infections, pneumonia, hospital staph infection, MRSA, C. difficile, and bloodstream infections. Since hospitalized patients often have a compromised immune system to begin with, hospitals can be a hotbed of bacteria and viruses. Failure to diagnose these infections could be medical malpractice.

Filtration of the hospital's HVAC system, observance of health and safety regulations, disposal of contaminated instruments and bedding, and cleanliness of building surfaces are all a part of standard medical practice that could be closely adhered to. If your hospital infection has been acquired due to unsanitary conditions, poor protocols, contaminated instruments, or medical negligence, that hospital or medical facility could be held liable for your injuries.
