October 24 is Senior UTI awareness day. It is crucial to prioritize the well-being of our elderly population by addressing the issue of urinary tract infections (UTIs). Senior UTIs are common and can lead to serious health complications if not detected and treated promptly. To help combat this problem, the FSU Medical Library offers valuable resources for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of UTIs in older adults.

Identifying the symptoms of UTIs in seniors is a key challenge in geriatric care. Elderly individuals may not exhibit typical signs of a UTI, so healthcare providers and caregivers need to be aware of atypical symptoms such as confusion, agitation, increased falls, and decline in functional status. Recognizing these indicators allows for timely interventions and prevents the progression of the infection.
