ABSTRACT:
A method for aid in diagnosing Alzheimer's disease in patients exhibiting the Alzheimer's characteristic dementia is described. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) suspected of containing amyloid particles is removed from a patient, living or deceased, concentrated and then stained to determine a count of such particles per unit volume. The method provides a means for confirming Alzheimer's disease.
