Antiviral treatment associated with reduced risk of clinical Alzheimer's disease : A nested case‐control study
Introduction In this nested case-control study, we investigated if antiviral treatment given prior to onset of Alzheimer's disease (AD) could influence incident AD. Methods From a large population-based cohort study in northern Sweden, 262 individuals that later developed AD were compared to a...
