초록

노인에서 요로감염은 흔한 감염증이고, 또한 균혈증의 주요 요인이다. 대부분의 요로감염증은 경미한 임상경과를 보이지만, 일부에서 중증의 패혈증으로 진행될 수 있으며, 특히 노인에서는 생명을 위협하는 치명적인 질환이 될 수 있다. 인구의 고령화가 진행되면서 병원이나 요양시설에 입원하는 노인들이 늘어나고, 특히 요로의 구조적, 기능적 이상이 있거나 이를 유발하는 기타 질환들이 동반된 노인들에서 복잡성 요로감염증이 문제가 되고 있다. 적절한 항균제 치료를 통한 감염증 치료 이외에도 기저 질환의 치료가 재발 방지를 위해 매우 중요하다.

Abstract

The great increase in the numbers of the elderly people is one of the important challenges that our health care systems have to face and prepare. Many infectious diseases are more frequent in elderly persons, because of their decreased immune and physiologic functions. Elderly patients above the age of 65 are known to be at high risk for urinary tract infection. Urinary tract infection is the most common infection and also the first cause of bacteremia in the elderly. Most urinary tract infections in the elderly are either asymptomatic or mild and are easily managed. If left untreated, however, these infections can develop into severe and potentially life-threatening sepsis. Asymptomatic bacteriuria is neither the cause of morbidity nor associated with a higher mortality rate and thus treatment is not recommended. Older persons may not complain of typical urinary symptoms and usually have complicating factors including functional or structural abnormalities of the genitourinary tract. The epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and management of urinary tract infections in the elderly patients are discussed in this review according to their underlying diseases, sex, symptoms, and infection sites.
