Newer estimations indicate a considerable increase in the number of elderly people with dementia and Lewy body dementia (DLB) in Denmark. Simultaneously, the prescription of antipsychotics to elderly patients remains very high in Denmark. This report reflects on the importance of keeping DLB in mind when physicians encounter elderly demented patients ...

Distinguishing Lewy Body Dementia
Hospital Practice, 1998The presence of the distinctive formations known as Lewy bodies within brain cells has been linked to senile dementia. A pattern of clinical features helps distinguish Lewy body dementia from Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Differentiation can be important, because many patients with Lewy body dementia have a hypersensitivity to neuroleptic ...

International review of neurobiology, 2009
Dementia is becoming increasingly prevalent since elderly patients are living longer due to the development of treatments for other diseases and conditions. The percent of our population over 60 is also increasing with the wave of aging baby boomers.

Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is a synucleinopathy that is clinically distinct from Alzheimer's disease, associated with cognitive decline, fluctuations in alertness and cognition, visual hallucinations, and parkinsonism. Other clinical symptoms that can occur with DLB include dysautonomia and sleep disorders such as rapid-eye-movement sleep behavior

Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports, 2001
The discovery of widely distributed Lewy bodies (LBs) in the brains of patients with dementia has stimulated much clinical and pathologic inquiry. This clinico-pathologic syndrome is now referred to as dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). Diagnostic criteria for DLB proposed at a workshop in 1995 are receiving detailed scrutiny. The criteria are complex to

Lewy body dementia (LBD) includes both Parkinson’s disease dementia (PDD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and affects between 1 and 2 million older Americans. LBD is a multi-system disorder, involving disturbances of movement, cognition, behavior, sleep and autonomic function.

Bailliere's clinical neurology, 1994
Lewy body dementia is common. It presents either with cognitive impairment and neuropsychiatric disturbance followed by parkinsonism or as dementia complicating established Parkinson's disease. It is unusual both in its pathological features and in its clinical manifestations. Although both overlap to some extent with those of Alzheimer's disease, Lewy
