β¦ Synopsis
Dear Editor
I was fascinated to read the case report by McDonald et al. (2002). The similarities with my own case (Byrne et al., 1987) (which you were kind enough to publish 15 years ago) are striking. McDonald's case showed impaired cognition at only moderately raised serum calcium levels. This also occurred in our case both pre-and post-operatively. The subject of our case report subsequently developed neuropsychiatric lupus erythematosus (NPSLE) at the age of 93 years which was also treated with benefit (Dennis et al., 1993).
Are the lessons of such cases obsolete after 15 years?
