Infectious diseases are one of the diseases that are generally better suited to diagnostic and antibiotic treatments. However, there is significant mortality in infectious diseases. This study was done to determine the infection leading to admission. This study was performed on hospital data. All patients admitted in Shahid Sadoughi hospital in Yazd province in one year were studied. The final diagnosis is based on symptoms and clinical infectious disease by a specialist. Data were analyzed by statistical software SPSS and Chi-square tests. In the time period examined, 1326 patients were enrolled, 56.7% were male and 43.3% female that age range were 14-95 years. The most commonly reported illness at the time of hospital discharge was pneumonia (16.7%), UTI (11.2%), diabetic foot ulcer and cellulite (13.7%). There was a significant relationship between the most commonly diagnosed illnesses age and gender at the onset and discharge of patients (P value<0.05). It is worth noting that cases without diagnosis were 20.1% and in the elderly group with a population of 53.6% of the total hospitalized patients, pneumonia and UTI were the most common complications. The present study has shown that pneumonia is the most prevalent among the causes of hospitalization among the elderly and non-elderly patients in the infectious part, and there is a significant relationship between age and sex and the prevalence of disease in patients were in Hospital.
