Dysesthesia and Depression in Undiagnosed Alzheimer's Disease.

Dysesthesia is an abnormal sensation typically described as tingling, burning, or itching. Dysesthesia may occur in the presence or absence of causative dermatologic or medical pathology. Sensory abnormalities have been well documented in patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease (AD), though reported abnormalities typically affect the olfactory, visual, and auditory systems.
