1 Usefulness of White Blood Cell Count (WBCC) During Infection: a Comparison Between Hospitalized Geriatric and Young Groups.

In the general population, increased WBCC and neutrophil count are widely used as markers for infection during inflammatory states 1. However, 32% of geriatric patients with an infection do not develop an increase in WBCC 2. The hypothesis is that with inflammation, geriatric patients have a misadapted response of the immune system (IS) 3. Our recent retrospective study 4 has shown that total and differential WBCC were not correlated with infection in a geriatric hospitalized population. Therefore, WBCC does not seem to be a reliable marker for infection in geriatric hospitalized patients. The neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, and CRP, seem to be better markers. the aim of the study to investigate this hypothesis prospectively and assess the role of aging and chronic diseases (such as cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and risk factors (CVRF) 5, cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection 6, periodontitis 7, onychomycosis 8 ) in this process and assess the role of a geriatric assessment. To assess the usefulness of WBCC in the diagnosis of infection in geriatric patients and to address the contribution of ongoing chronic co-morbidities and age to WBCC-kinetics during an acute inflammatory syndrome, young and geriatric hospitalized patients with an inflammatory syndrome with and without infection will be compared
