Figure 3. Proposed management algorithm for more common neurodegenerative causes of RPD.
AD = Alzheimer disease; bvFTD = behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia; CJD = Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease; LBD = Lewy body dementia; RPD = rapidly progressive dementia. Quinacrine failed to show benefit in a clinical trial.38 LBD management adapted from: Boeve BF (2005), Clinical, diagnostic, genetic and management issues in dementia with Lewy bodies, Clin Sci 109(4), 343–354.39
