由于他们的免疫和其他器官系统的功能下降，老年人更容易受到心脏瓣膜，脑膜，泌尿道和皮肤的某些类型的感染。他们可能会发展为严重的脓毒症，伴有微妙的临床体征和症状，这使得准确诊断变得困难。表2、表3和表4列出了用于对抗最常导致这些脓毒性症状的微生物的抗菌剂。一些预防这些感染的方法进行了讨论，但需要进一步的研究，以验证旧的技术和建立新的。
Because of declining function of their immunologic and other organ systems, elderly individuals are more susceptible to certain types of infections of their heart valves, meninges, urinary tract, and skin. They may develop serious sepsis with subtle clinical signs and symptoms, which makes accurate diagnosis difficult. The antimicrobial agents of choice for use against the organisms most commonly responsible for these septic symdromes are listed in Tables 2, 3, and 4. Some methods of preventing these infections are discussed, but further studies to verify old techniques and establish new ones are needed.
