Abstract

This article covers the concepts of atypical pneumonia and old age, and presents the results of the study of its late specificity criteria in the elderly. To what extent the reactivity of the organism in old age changes, it determines the features of the rejection of the disease. The influence of the external environment and internal factors of the body lead to an acceleration of the aging process, premature aging of the body, a process that begins after the growth and development of the body stops. The World Health Organization divides old age into three stages: 60-75 years old-old age, early old age; Age 75-90 years-old age, when extreme old age is 100 years or older. In our control there were 23 patients who were at an early age. In the Control group, 42 pneumonia patients aged 21-48 were examined for Disease histories. In elderly patients, pathological changes were practically not detected in 58% of the results of physical and laboratory – instrumental examination, the complications of the disease were also distinguished by their uniqueness in the elderly and young people. And in the Control group, acute pneumonia was accompanied by pathological changes in the results of physical and laboratory – instrumental examination in 83% of cases. Therefore, in the diagnosis of pneumonia in the elderly, it is advisable to use additional methods of examination. In the case of medicamentous therapy, however, in combination with physiotherapeutic treatments, drainage massage, the placement of the patient in the bed is recommended for this reason, according to maqasad. Of course, disease prevention in the elderly is of particular importance.
