In a recent article, Kalaitzakis et al (1) reported a significantly greater amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) burden in the striatum of cases of Parkinson disease (PD) with dementia (PDD) than in nondemented PD patients, whereas α-synuclein (αSN) and tau deposition were similarly rare in both groups. Because neuritic Braak stages were rather low in both groups, it was concluded that Aβ deposition in the striatum, which was type independent of Alzheimer disease (AD) changes, strongly correlates with dementia in PD. These data can, at least in part, be confirmed from the results of a personal autopsy series of 64 cases of Lewy body disease (21 PD, 23 PDD, and 20 dementia with Lewy bodies [DLB]). Neuropathologic assessment was performed according to standardized methods. Multiple paraffin-embedded blocks were examined using routine stains and immunohistochemistry for tau, Aβ (clone 4G8), and αSN. …
