Nine years ago, Nikki Schultek faced debilitating symptoms with no diagnosis until chronic infections were found in her brain, treatable with antibiotics.
A recent paper reveals that infectious diseases were misdiagnosed as dementia, and many patients showed substantial cognitive recoveries after treatment for infections.
Professor Richard Lathe highlights that numerous patients were accidentally diagnosed with infections that caused their neurological symptoms, emphasizing the need for awareness in such cases.
Schultek's story illustrates the importance of accurate diagnosis in neurological disorders, as many conditions may be reversible with appropriate treatment for underlying infections.
