摘要
肺炎是老年人群的多发病、常见病。尽管在诊断、抗感染、重症监护及预防等方面已取得很大进步，但老年肺炎的死亡率在过去十年没有明显下降。肺炎仍是引起老年人死亡的主要病因之一，已成为突出的公共卫生问题。本文就近年来老年肺炎的诊治进展作一综述，重点讨论衰老对呼吸系统防御机制的影响以及老年肺炎的临床表现、病原学、危险分层和治疗等方面的问题。
Despite the remarkable advances in antibiotic therapies, diagnostic tools, prevention campaigns and intensive care, community acquired pneumonia （CAP） in elderly is still the primary causes of death and there have been no significant changes in mortality in the last decade. The clinical and economic burden of CAP in elderly makes it a major public health problem. This paper reviews clinical manifestation, microbial etiology, diagnosis, risk stratification and treatment about CAP in the aged.
