ABSTRACT
The incidence of pneumonia is substantially high among geriatric population, which
accounts for a large proportion of government spending on medical care. The risk gets
higher as the age increases. This article reviews the general characteristics of pneumonia in
the elderly. We also review diagnosis, risk factors, treatment, nursing care, and vaccination
against pneumococcal pneumonia. By taking efforts to prevent complications of various
chronic diseases, to curtail the risk factors, to maintain adequate exercise and nutrition, and
to encourage vaccination against streptococcus pneumonia every 5 years can decrease the
incidence of pneumonia, and curb antibiotic use and medical expenses. (Tzu Chi Nursing
Journal, 2008; 7:1, 65-70.)
Key words: elderly, pneumonia, pneumococcal vaccines
