Just curious. Mom still is really good with her hygiene and I don't think she has experienced any UTI's, but it's a concern I have with foresight to her vascular dementia. What are some symptoms, besides acting really differently? And how does it all correlate? Why would a UTI make someone behave differently if they have demetia? Thanks!
That doesn't really answer your question as to WHY it happens, but it is very useful to know that it does, if you are caring for an older person.
