摘要：
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is extremely common in the elderly. When compared to UTI in younger adult populations, there are significant differences with respect to the epidemiology, pathogenesis, host defense mechanisms, microbiology, clinical features, and management. This article reviews UTI in the elderly and emphasizes the differences from younger populations. In addition, the issue of excess mortality in relation to bacteriuria is addressed.
