    I lost a really good friend this week...Leukemia sucks, but he caught two infections while in the hospital, apparently they did him in.

    In American hospitals alone, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that HAIs account for an estimated 1.7 million infections and 99,000 associated deaths each year. Of these infections: 32 percent of all healthcare acquired infection are urinary tract infections. 22 percent are surgical site infections.
