Among infections that are increased in incidence, the most important by far are tuberculosis and pneumococcal pneumonia. Infections that show higher fatality rates include influenza and--again--pneumococcal pneumonia. Intra-abdominal infections (eg, cholecystitis and appendicitis) are often clinically worse in older patients due to late recognition and delay in surgical intervention.

... Immunosenescence is the cause of the increased susceptibility to infectious diseases (Louria et al. 1993;Pinner et al. 1996;Gomez et al. 2005;De la Fuente 2008;Nikolich-Zugich 2008;Yager et al. 2008;Weiskopf et al. 2009), malignancies (Ershler & Longo 1997Anisimov 2003;Anisimov et al. 2009;De la Fuente 2008;Derhovanessian et al. 2008;Pawelec et al. 2010;Foster et al. 2011), autoimmune diseases (Prelog 2006;Montoya-Ortiz 2013;Coder et al. 2015), and inadequate immune responses to vaccinations (Haynes & Swain 2006;Aspinall et al. 2007;Cicin-Sain et al. 2010) of aged animals and humans.
