Abstract

The geriatric failure to thrive, a controversial French concept not present in the international literature, was first characterized by Jean Carrié in 1956. It is described as a process of aging and physical and psychological decline associated with advanced age, manifesting as a pronounced overall deterioration. In this case report, we present the case of an 88-year-old patient, admitted to a general medicine service for geriatric failure to thrive, whose management eventually leads to the diagnosis of endocarditis with digestive cancer complicated by a characterized depressive episode. This case prompts us to consider the geriatric failure to thrive with extreme caution and challenges the legitimacy of such a diagnosis in the context of an aging population and the progress of medical sciences.

[老年发育不良:虚幻诊断与临床现实之间]。
让-卡里埃(Jean Carrié)于 1956 年首次提出了 "老年性发育不全 "这一概念,但这一概念在法国颇具争议,在国际文献中并不存在。它被描述为一个与高龄相关的衰老、生理和心理衰退的过程,表现为明显的整体恶化。在本病例报告中,我们介绍了一名 88 岁患者的病例,该患者因老年性乏力而入住普通内科,最终被诊断为心内膜炎合并消化道癌症,并伴有特征性抑郁发作。该病例提示我们,在考虑老年性食欲不振时要格外谨慎,并在人口老龄化和医学科学进步的背景下,对此类诊断的合理性提出了质疑。
