Abstract

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Parkinson disease (PD) are known to occur simultaneously among some Chamorro inhabitants of Guam and other Mariana Islands (Stanhope et al., 1972). Outside of the Western Pacific Islands, the concurrence of ALS and PD seems to be rare. However, it has been observed to occur with sufficient frequency to suggest some causal association. The following is a report of a patient suffering from ALS whose family history included PD in several of the immediate relatives.

摘要

已知在关岛和其他马里亚纳群岛的一些查莫罗居民中，肌萎缩侧索硬化症（ALS）和帕金森病（PD）会同时出现（斯坦霍普等人，1972年）。在西太平洋岛屿以外，ALS和PD同时出现的情况似乎很少见。然而，已经观察到这种情况出现的频率足以表明存在某种因果关联。以下是一名患有ALS的患者的报告，其家族病史中有几名直系亲属患有PD。
