RESUMO
Com o aumento da esperança devida tem-se assistido a um envelhecimento da população mundial. Prevê-se que em 2050 o número de idosos duplique. Nesta faixa etária as doenças infecciosas são a causa mais frequente de hospitalização, sendo as infecções do tracto respiratório a quarta causa de morte no idoso e a principal causa de morbilidade.
Devido à idade, às múltiplas patologias, e ao frequente internamento em lares de 3ª idade, a etiologia e a clínica são substancialmente modificadas, obrigando-nos a atenções particulares no que concerne o diagnóstico e o tratamento.

ABSTRACT
With the increase in life expectancy, the world population is getting older. It is estimated that in 2050 the number of old people will double. In the aged, infectious diseases are the most common cause of hospitalization, the respiratory infections being the fourth cause of death and the main cause of morbidity.
Due to age, to the concomitance of multiple diseases and to frequent stay in nursing homes, etiology and clinic may be seriously modified, compelling us to pay a special attention to both diagnosis and treatment.
