  ABSTRACT: This prospective multicenter descriptive study reports the epidemiological, clinical, microbiological, and outcome profile of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in three nephrology departments in Dakar over 12 months. Among 1060 patients seen, 83 HAI cases with microbiological documentation were included, with most events occurring after 7 days of hospitalization and with urinary and hemodialysis catheters as frequent associated devices. Gram-negative bacilli and Staphylococcus spp. predominated, with a high proportion of ESBL and MDR profiles, and outcomes were mainly favorable despite reported mortality.
