摘要

This article discuss about nosocomial infections in connection with a practical study made on three Romanian hospitals (St. George County Hospital, County Hospital Emergency Clinic from Brasov and Children's Hospital of Brasov). In daily practice, health professional have a part of responsibility in a nosocomial infection and prove that the ethical rules are founded on the principles of individual wellbeing: regarding nosocomial infection the principle on non malfeasance is the most relevant. The balance between these ethical principles is delicate, however, for doctors; the main concern should be to avoid any distortion of the debate which could result from their confusing use of the principles of good.
