Abstract

Despite its high prevalence among neurodegenerative diseases, Lewy body disease (LBD), or Lewy body dementia (LBD), because of its clinical proximity to Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, is often undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. Better identification of this condition, in order to provide better care for sufferers and their carers, is a health objective on which progress is desirable.

Keywords: Alzheimer’s disease; Lewy body disease; Parkinson’s disease; dementia with Lewy bodies; démence à corps de Lewy; maladie de Parkinson; maladie d’Alzheimer; maladie neurodégénérative; maladie à corps de Lewy; neurodegenerative disease.
