Urinary tract infections (UTI) are common among older people. Woman are more commonly affected than men but patients with dementia can have the highest incidence of all the population segments.

There are different types of delirium and symptoms may include agitation or restlessness, increased difficulty concentration, hallucinations or becoming unusually sleepy or withdrawn.
