摘要
Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is strongly associated with Alzheimer disease (AD)-type pathology and tends to mask the core clinical features of DLB. Therefore, there may be cases of undiagnosed DLB without suggestive biomarkers of DLB. We describe the case of a 63-year-old woman who was initially diagnosed as having AD and later diagnosed with DLB based on suggestive biomarkers of DLB. In this case, transient sleep talking with physical movements for several days led to the assessment of suggestive biomarkers for DLB in the absence of the core clinical features of DLB. For clinicians, diagnosing DLB in patients with AD-type pathology is challenging. However, the application of biomarkers suggestive of DLB to all patients with dementia is not realistic. To overcome the difficulties of clinical diagnosis of DLB, further research is needed regarding strategies for the application of suggestive biomarkers for DLB to appropriately diagnose DLB.
