Behavior such as increased confusion, hallucinations, agitation, dizziness, falls and poor motor skills are often mistaken for early stages of dementia, but all can be caused by a UTI.” Also called delirium, this rapid worsening of the mental state is more common than you’d think. It’s found in nearly 30% of older folks with UTIs.” Are these cases all from bacterial infections or are those people with UTIs showing dementia symptoms a subset with viral infections, either alone or along with bacterial infection as well?ClosedNicola asked 8 months ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers170 views0 answers0 votesA 2018 study estimated that infection triggers roughly half of all cases of delirium in seniors.
