This document discusses the approach to diagnosing and treating postoperative infections in hospitalized patients. It describes how respiratory infections, wound infections, urinary tract infections, and other sources should be evaluated. Key points include: fever developing after the 4th postoperative day is more likely a true infection; a directed physical exam guided by the medical history and procedure can help identify infection sources; and treatment involves identifying the pathogen and using appropriate antibiotics along with drainage or debridement when necessary.
