Dr. David Eiffrig wrote a column about urinary tract infections: “Emergency physician Erika Kube, M.D. mentioned in 2021 in the Columbus Dispatch, “Altered mental status is often the only symptom of a UTI in an elderly person. 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?

A 2018 study estimated that infection triggers roughly half of all cases of delirium in seniors. As for the reason why, scientists suspect a UTI triggers inflammation that can disrupt how our neurons function. And UTIs are the second-most-common type of infection in adults aged 65 and over at hospitals and community-living centers (with lung infections ranked No. 1). What is Creator’s perspective about the frequency of viral vs. bacterial causation?

A viewer asks: “Creator, my daughter has been suffering from some health issues, which we thought was a urinary tract infection, but after two rounds of antibiotics and over a month of dealing with the urge to urinate and some pain in the lower abdomen, we’re still waiting for more tests and results. Is this still part of an unresolved UTI, constipation, or other condition? I’m giving natural supplements to help but they’re barely making a dent. I’m sure there is a karmic element here but it’s really hampering her life now. Without leading too much or providing medical advice, can Creator direct me as to its cause as much as possible so I can best help to resolve these health issues and get her well again?” What can we tell him?
