Getting it wrong: the clinical misdiagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.

A J Larner1.   

Abstract

Two patients whose diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease proved to be incorrect on follow-up are presented. Factors which contributed to the misdiagnosis included failure to obtain collateral history, failure to apply widely accepted diagnostic criteria, over-reliance on structural brain imaging and lack of longitudinal follow-up. Analysis of diagnostic errors may permit avoidance of similar pitfalls in future.
