A mate of mine's mother regularly had urinary tract infections in her 90's. One of the symptoms was dementia type behaviour, oh and constant swearing! But you're best bet is to ask the medical staff dealing with her, I'm sure they have a broader knowledge on the subject.
I will do once I get to llandough later on today , she's been carted offQuote:

Confusion is very normal common.i have seen lots of them,more common in women.it's usually a case of anti biotic. It's a very common infection with elderly people but also quite distressing for the carer to see the level of confusion. Hope all is well mate.Quote:

Its like she's on bad acid , paranoid , deluded etcQuote:

It’s quite nuts seeing people with UTI’s. My dad was in the royal Glamorgan suffering with liver cancer, he had one and was going on about all sorts, telling me in great detail about all the fish they were bringing into the ward during the night.... sea bass, red mullet, mackerel, they’d have feasts all they the night.....Quote:

When you witness it it is very worrying.
Antibiotics sorted it.
They have got her on a high dose in llandough , she seems more with it but she's been off her cake with this bout fair play , early nineties raverQuote:
