The recent discovery highlights that some dementia cases can stem from brain infections caused by fungi or bacteria, offering exciting potential for reversal of symptoms.
Schultek's team outlined various cases where patients with dementia were found to have brain infections, leading to significant improvements after antiviral or antifungal treatments.
Richard Lathe noted that patients often stumbled upon the infections' link to dementia, finding that treating the infections led to abatement of their neurological symptoms.
The Alzheimer's Pathobiome Initiative, led by diverse experts, aims to investigate the role of brain infections in dementia, offering hope for innovative therapeutic approaches.
