Abstract
The presence of (Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome) SIRS in the elderly, who has a high comorbidity, represents a relevant problem, but it is not always evaluated promptly, and treated wisely. The most frequent cause of SIRS in the old patient is sepsis, that is a SIRS caused by an infective agent. The diagnosis is based on the presence of very simple simptoms; the early identification of risk factors and of the correct therapy allows the improvement of prognosis also in a frail population like the geriatric one.
