The causes of hallucinations in an elderly person with UTI (urinary tract infection) are many. If the infection causes a high fever that can lead to hallucinations and even delirium. The dugs used for treating the infections may be the cause of halluciantions either by themselves or by their interaction with the other medications. And remember that an elderly person may be receiving many drugs simultaneously for a variety of ailments such as Arthritis, hypertension, coronary artery disease, Diabetes, etc. Finally an elderly person with UTI may be having hallucinations from causes unrelated to the infection.
