Abstract

The elderly population is increasing in our country as in the world. It is thought that the increase in the elderly population by 22.5% in the last five years will gain more importance day by day, and physicians should have sufficient knowledge and experience in the field of diagnosis and treatment of geriatric patients. The most common infection in geriatric patients, who are also expressed as elderly and frail individuals, and cause even mortality if left untreated, is urinary tract infections. Diagnosis and treatment of urinaary tract infections must be applied in the right indication, in sufficient time and dose. In addition, the treatment should be applied by the relevant clinicians according to scientific principles, accompanied by side effects, antibiotic resistance and special dose adjustment applications.

Özet

Yaşlı nüfusun oranı dünyada olduğu gibi ülkemizde de artmaktadır. Yaşlı nüfusun son beş yılda %22,5 varan artışı yaşlı bakımın gün geçtikçe daha önem kazanacağını ve hekimlerin geriyatrik hasta ile ilgili tanı ve tedavi alanında yeterli bilgi ve deneyime sahip olması gerektiği düşünülmektedir. Yaşlı ve kırılgan bireyler olarak da ifade edilen geriyatrik hastalarda en sık rastlanılan ve tedavi edilmediği takdirde mortaliteye dahi sebep olan infeksiyon, üriner sistem infeksiyonlarıdır. Üriner sistem enfeksiyonlarının tanı ve tedavisinin, doğru endikasyonda, yeterli süre ve dozda uygulanması gereklidir. Ayrıca tedavi uygulamalarında ilgili klinisyenlerce yan etki, antibiyotik direnci ve özel doz ayarı uygulamaları eşliğinde bilimsel esaslara göre uygulanmalıdır.
