Abstract
Urinary tract infections (UTI) in the elderly are common. UTI ranges in severity from mild disease to severe sepsis. Many organisms can cause UTIs yet many UTIs are caused by the same few organisms. An organism that has been increasingly gaining notoriety for infections is Aerococcus urinae. Aerococcus infections are constantly misdiagnosed due to their difficulty to identify. Here we present a case of an elderly male who was found to have a urinary tract infection with Aerococcus urinaethat progressed into bacteremia, severe sepsis and ultimately death.
摘要
老年人尿路感染（UTI）很常见。尿路感染的严重程度从轻症到严重脓毒症不等。许多微生物都可引起尿路感染，但许多尿路感染是由少数几种相同的微生物引起的。因感染而日益声名狼藉的一种微生物是尿液气球菌。由于尿液气球菌难以识别，其感染常常被误诊。在此，我们报告一例老年男性病例，该患者被发现患有尿液气球菌引起的尿路感染，并进展为菌血症、严重脓毒症，最终死亡。
