Abstrait
Chez le sujet âgé, l’infection urinaire est le syndrome infectieux le plus fréquent et se révèle une cause essentielle des syndromes septiques et fébriles dans cette population. La prévalence de la bactériurie s’élève de moins de 5 % chez les femmes jeunes et 0,1 % chez les hommes au-dessous de 65 ans, à 25 % chez les femmes et 10 % chez les hommes au-delà de 65 ans (1). Les patients hospitalisés en institution ont un risque encore plus grand de présenter ce type d’infection comparé à une population identique à domicile. Le taux est de 20 à 50 % chez les résidents sans sonde à demeure et de 100 % des porteurs de sonde à demeure en sont affligés (2, 3).
