This book provides a comprehensive overview of the types of infection affecting particular organs and systems in elderly patients and places particular emphasis on immunological function, antimicrobial agents and prevention and control.

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.
