Nosocomial salmonellosis is at present a serious problem for many large therapeutic and prophylactic institutions. The specific features of the epidemic process of nosocomial salmonellosis and the organizational aspects of antiepidemic activities makes it possible to characterize the experience of observation on the chronic epidemic of this infection in one of hospitals. The clinico-epidemiological features of the chronic epidemic of nosocomial salmonellosis, described in this work, are shown and the main trends in the organization of antiepidemic measures are indicated.
