The real story is that sixteen-year-old Walt Disney wanted to enlist in the U.S. Army during World War I, but was too young. So he lied about his age and enlisted in the American Ambulance Corps of the Red Cross. Young Walt arrived in France in November 1918, just shy of his 17th birthday.
Nosocomial Infections. Infections acquired during a hospital stay are called nosocomial infections. Formally, they are are defined as infections arising after 48 hours of hospital admission. For earlier periods it is presumably assumed that the infection arose prior to admission, though this is not always going to be true.
All infections caused by this pathogen were nosocomial, or healthcare associated infections, in hemodialysis settings whereas none was associated with hospital outbreaks. An increase of uncommon Gram-negative bacilli has occurred in the last decade in the nosocomial environment. E. meningoseptica is resistant to multiple antibiotics and has been previously described as a pathogen of neonatal meningitis and sepsis, 2 as well as a cause of infection among immunocompromised patients. 3 It causes significant morbidity and mortality rates may be as high as 50%. 2.
