[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she seems more agitated than usual, have them test for a UTI. In the elderly cognitive issues may be the only noticable symptom.[/quote] can you please explain why you suggest this?[/quote] UTIs can cause memory problems and delirium, hallucinations even in healthy seniors. Those with dementia may have symptoms dramatically amplified. Often, they don't feel the physical sensations, and the infection goes undiagnosed. Whenever you see a dramatic decline, always ask for a UTI test. It's a good idea to test regularly anyway, they may catch one before it becomes a serious problem[/quote]
