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)

Another example:
« Une infection est dite nosocomiale si elle était absente à l'admission à l'hôpital. Ce critère est applicable à toutes les infections. Lorsque la situation précise à l'admission n'est pas connue, un délai d'au moins 48 heures après l'admission (ou un délai supérieur à la période d'incubation lorsque celle-ci est connue) est communément accepté pour séparer une infection d'acquisition communautaire d'une infection nosocomiale. Toutefois, il est recommandé d'apprécier dans chaque cas douteux la plausibilité du lien causal entre hospitalisation et infection. Pour les infections de plaie opératoire, on accepte comme nosocomiales les infections survenues dans les 30 jours suivant l'intervention, ou - s'il y a mise en place d'une prothèse ou d'un implant - dans l'année qui suit l'intervention. »

Definition from
Wikipedia:
"Une infection nosocomiale est une infection contractée dans un établissement de santé. Le terme « nosocomial » vient du grec ancien nosos, maladie et de komein soigner, qui forment le mot nosokomia, soins qu’on donne aux malades."
Example sentences:
"L’infection nosocomiale est désormais intégrée dans les infections associées aux soins (IAS). Une infection est considérée comme associées aux soins si elle survient au cours ou au décours d’une prise en charge (diagnostique, thérapeutique, palliative, préventive ou éducative) d’un patient, et si elle n’était ni présente, ni en incubation au début de la prise en charge."
