Because aging is accompanied by a steady decline in resistance
to infectious diseases, the diagnosis and treatment of these
diseases in the elderly is not only much more complex, but also
often quite different from that for younger patients.
In the second edition of Infectious Disease in the Aging: A
Clinical Handbook, a panel of well known and highly experienced
geriatric physicians and infectious disease experts review the most
important common infections affecting the elderly and delineate
their well-proven diagnostic, therapeutic, and preventive
techniques. Among the illnesses discussed are urinary tract
infections, pneumonia, ocular infections, tuberculosis, and fungal
and viral infections. In addition, there are detailed discussions
of sepsis, infective endocarditis, intraabdominal infections,
bacterial meningitis, osteomyelitis and septic arthritis, and
prosthetic device infections.
