Abstract

One of the most at-risk groups for COVID-19 is Elderly with Chronic Diseases. However, many Elderly patients with COVID-19 may seem "silent" after being infected with the virus, or have non-specific symptoms such as decreased activity, drowsiness, reluctance to eat, indifference, confusion, delirium, loss of awareness of the environment, speech disorders, urinary incontinence, falling following a loss of balance and fainting. Fever is a hidden symptom in the Elderly. If the Elderly body temperature is 100 degrees Fahrenheit, it is necessary to undergo further diagnostic tests for COVID-19. On the other hand, other patients with heart failure, vascular diseases, and COPD experience normal symptoms of COVID-19 (cough, shortness of breath, etc. ). That's why it's much harder to diagnose COVID-19 in the Elderly with chronic disease than others. In order to diagnose the disease in a golden time, it is necessary to carry out diagnostic tests in order to confirm COVID-19. Therefore, it can be concluded; Elderly people with COVID-19, and with a history of Chronic Diseases have a more severe form of respiratory distress syndrome than other people with COVID-19, which can lead to death. Regardless of the severity of the disease, supportive care for these patients is essential.
