Introduction
Generally, diseasses which are attacked elderly including infectious disease are often give
unclear symptomps. Therefore, accuracy is needed to know the diseasses. Late handling and
treatment to the infectious disseases can lead to fatal condition.
The tendency towards infection in elderly, the risk towards infection in elderly lead to multi
factorial. Risk factors consist of: comorbid, decrease of immune, aging process that lead to
complex.

Comorbid Infection in Elderly:
1. Old age and comorbid consist of diabetes, kidney failure, chronic lung disease, immobilization
and lead to decrease of innate immunity (non-specific barrier and immunity towards microbial
product). COPD, Pneumonia and old age lead to mucus clearance, alveolar disfunction, cough
reflex suppression increasing of risk of lower respiratory tract. Infections and old age lead to
poor prognosis

2. Decrease Immune System
Immune senescence lead to disregulation of the immune system
Up regulation of inflammatory response (CRP, IL-6, NFkB)

down regulation innate immunity (NK, PMN), adaptive immunity (decrease of naive T cell,
cytokines, cell surface receptor)

3. Social and Environmental Factors
Biomedical, behavioral, social, and environmental are should healthy.

Usually Low Income occurs in eldelry CAP towards elderly lead to poor nutrition and inadequate
vaccination.

Diagnosis and Management Infection in Elderly
Clinical manifestation of Elderly Infection:
In The Elderly the infection a typical features: decreasing of status mental, anorexia, worsening
of comorbid (CHF, diabetes mellitus).
Fever sometimes there is no response towards endogenous pyrogens such as IL-1, IL-6, TNF
lead to reduced
Old age and Frailty lead to decrease of basal temperature

Fever Criteria:

1. Persistent temperature 2 ° C (1.1 ° C) from basal temperature
2. Oral Temperature 99 ° F (37.2 ° C) or higher when the repetition
3. The rectal temperature of 99.5 ° F (37.5 ° C) or higher when the repetition
Decreasing fever response retardation in diagnosis makes poor prognosis, cognitive impairment
could not communicate well

Bacteremia and sepsis
Criteria of Bacteremia and Sepsis in elderly are:
1. 14% of the causes hospitalization
2. Systemic symptoms rarely
3. derived from GI or GU, gram-negative bacteria that cause >>
4. 35-42% mortality 28 days of age> 65 yrs
5. Nosocomial, gram negative à 37-50% mortality
6. Contamination during surgery

Pneumonia
Inflamation and Infection in Lungs like pneumonia are much suffered by elderly.
Fever more than 38 celcius degree, caugh, pain in chest, waekness and no appetite or sometime
disorientation

Etiology
Streptococcus pneumonia, haemophilus influenza
Management:
1. Antibiotic:
2. Pneumococcal vaccine:
Standard vaccines for age more than 65 yrs or age 5 days were treated in
hospital.
Approach to Diagnosis
Anamnesis
HAP Clinical picture is not so clear and could not be used as criteria for the diagnosis of HAP.
Can be found fever, sputum purulen.
Physical Examination
Body temperature> 38,3oC, lung examination can be found signs of consolidation as percussion
dullness
Support Examination
Blood: leukocytosis> 10,000 / mm3, or leukopenia
