Un tercio de las muertes se producen entre personas mayores de 65 a\u00f1os<\/a>La neumon\u00eda y la gripe juntas son la sexta causa m\u00e1s com\u00fan de muerte en este pa\u00eds. El 90 % de estas personas son adultos mayores.<\/p>\nGeneralmente se recomienda la vacunaci\u00f3n anual contra la gripe para los mayores de 65 a\u00f1os. Tambi\u00e9n existe una vacuna antineumoc\u00f3cica que puede ayudar a prevenir algunos tipos de neumon\u00eda. Esta vacuna suele recomendarse para quienes viven en centros de atenci\u00f3n a largo plazo donde conviven en espacios reducidos.<\/p>\n
Las infecciones gastrointestinales tienen menos probabilidades de ser mortales. Sin embargo, pueden causar diversos s\u00edntomas desagradables y dolorosos. En ocasiones, estas infecciones son causadas por antibi\u00f3ticos que una persona puede estar tomando para otros problemas de salud.<\/p>\n
Las infecciones cut\u00e1neas se vuelven m\u00e1s comunes con la edad, ya que la piel pierde capacidad para combatir enfermedades y sanar. Entre las infecciones cut\u00e1neas comunes en las personas mayores se incluyen las infecciones virales, como el herpes z\u00f3ster, y las infecciones en los pies causadas por hongos o bacterias.<\/p>\n
Personas de todas las edades desarrollan infecciones del tracto urinario (ITU). Sin embargo, son las infecciones bacterianas m\u00e1s comunes en las personas mayores. Suelen estar causadas por cat\u00e9teres y diabetes.<\/p>\n
Si tiene a un ser querido en una residencia de ancianos u otro centro de atenci\u00f3n a largo plazo, debe confiar en que el personal puede reconocer los s\u00edntomas de estas y otras infecciones. Es fundamental brindar un tratamiento oportuno y adecuado. Adem\u00e1s, deben tomar todas las precauciones razonables para prevenir la propagaci\u00f3n de enfermedades infecciosas entre sus residentes.<\/p>\n
Si crees en el\u00a0negligencia o acciones de aquellos encargados de cuidar a su ser querido<\/a>\u00a0Si la persona afectada caus\u00f3 su enfermedad o la empeor\u00f3, es importante tomar medidas para evitar mayores da\u00f1os, tanto para ella como para otras personas. Si est\u00e1 considerando emprender acciones legales, consulte con un abogado con experiencia para analizar la situaci\u00f3n.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Las personas mayores suelen ser m\u00e1s propensas a desarrollar infecciones comunes que las m\u00e1s j\u00f3venes.
