Abstract
The case of a middle age male with an unclassified neurological disorder with symptoms such as myalgia, i.e., muscle concentrated around the hips, loss of muscular mass on the right limbs, drop eyelid on the right side, short-term memory loss, cognitive decline, neuropathic gait and a chronic gum infection on the right side as a possible cause is presented here.

There is research linking infections to neurological diseases, like Alzheimer.
