Definition from
HealthLine:
A nosocomial infection is contracted because of an infection or toxin that exists in a certain location, such as a hospital. People now use nosocomial infections interchangeably with the terms health-care associated infections (HAIs) and hospital-acquired infections. For a HAI, the infection must not be present before someone has been under medical care.
Example sentences:
Researchers from Queen Mary Hospital in Hong Kong reported that zero healthcare workers contracted COVID-19 and no hospital-acquired (nosocomial) infections were identified after the first six weeks of the outbreak, even as the health system tested 1,275 suspected cases and treated 42 active confirmed cases of COVID-19. Eleven healthcare workers, out of 413 involved in treating confirmed cases, had unprotected exposure and were quarantined for 14 days. None became ill.

The first victim of hospital-acquired coronavirus in the UK has been identified in a development that has fuelled concerns the disease is spreading within hospitals. (The Guardian)
Ensure optimal care options for all hospitalized patients, lessen the risk of nosocomial infections, and maintain the integrity of the healthcare system. Ensure that those who are at highest risk of complication of infection are rapidly identified and appropriately triaged. (EHS Today)

Infección intrahospitalaria
Definition from
Diccionario crítico de dudas
Las infecciones intrahospitalarias son infecciones contraídas por un paciente durante su tratamiento en un hospital u otro centro sanitario y que dicho paciente no tenía ni estaba incubando en el momento de su ingreso.<br />De acuerdo con El Diccionario crítico de dudas inglés-español de medicina de Federico Navarro: "Se abusa hasta la saciedad de las expresiones 'infecciones nosocomiales' e 'infecciones adquiridas en la comunidad'. ¿No es mucho más sencillo hablar de 'infecciones intrahospitalarias' e 'infecciones extrahospitalarias', respectivamente? Sobre todo en esta época en la que nadie llama ya 'nosocomios' a los hospitales."
Example sentences:
Las infecciones intrahospitalarias (IIH) o también llamadas infecciones asociadas a la atención de salud (IAAS); son infecciones adquiridas durante la estancia en un hospital y que no estaban presentes ni en período de incubación al momento del ingreso del paciente. Estos eventos son un problema de salud pública importante debido a la frecuencia con que se producen, la morbilidad y mortalidad que provocan, y la carga que imponen a los pacientes, al personal sanitario y a los sistemas de salud.
