Geriatric Infectious Diseases: Current Concepts on Diagnosis and Management.

Thomas T Yoshikawa1,2, Dean C Norman3,4.   

Abstract

New information on infectious diseases in older adults has become available in the past 20 years. In this review, in-depth discussions on the general problem of geriatric infectious diseases (epidemiology, pathogenesis, age-related host defenses, clinical manifestations, diagnostic approach); diagnosis and management of bacterial pneumonia, urinary tract infection, and Clostridium difficile infection; and the unique challenges of diagnosing and managing infections in a long-term care setting are presented.
