Infections in Elderly Patients

by A.T. Elder, W.J. MacLennan, B. Watt, et al.

Infections in elderly patients can present the clinician with a range of specific problems: general frailty, the presence of other diseases and changes to the body's immunological response are some of the factors which complicate diagnosis and treatment. The authorship of two geriatricians, a microbiologist and a virologist ensures an integrated approach to the subject.
