title: Dementia with Lewy bodies.
abstract: DLB is a complex disorder with important associations with PD and AD. As clinicians, it is important for us to identify these patients because of their unique responses to medical interventions and to help patients and caregivers more fully understand this disease process and its implications. Further research is needed to improve our understanding of the pathophysiology of this important dementing disorder, with the ultimate goal of improving clinical management of this disease.
