Identifying Dementia Lewy Bodies in Alzheimer Dementia: Case Report

Older persons are most commonly affected by Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this case study, there is a challenge in diagnosing mixed Alzheimer Disease (AD) and Dementia Lewy Bodies (DLB). A 89 years old patient from outpatient clinic had clinical feature of AD but also of DLB. In discussion, we analyzed the core feature of DLB in mixed case AD-DLB, because AD symptom said to be more dominant in mixed case, which may cause the low awareness of DLB. Its important that DLB diagnosed as soon as possible, especially due to the sensitivity toward antipsychotic. And lastly, there might be a need for further discussion of mixed type AD-DLB clinical feature for use in clinical setting.
