Abstract

 The amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and parkinsonism-dementia complex (PDC) were the fatal neurological diseases, showing very high incidence during 1945―1965 and dramatic decrease after 1970 on Guam. Based on the findings obtained, it is proposed that (a) NFTs in ALS of Guam are merely a background feature widely distributed in this population, (b) Guam ALS occurs initially as classic ALS, (c) ALS-PDC mixed patient is a case combined with classic ALS and neurofibrillary degeneration, (d) thus a subtype of "Guam ALS" is not present, (e) PDC and ALS of Guam are basically different diseases, and (f) PDC is a discrete disease entity.
