Anosmia in Dementia is Associated with Lewy Bodies Rather Than Alzheimer's Pathology
JNNP 70:739-743,720, McShane,R.H.,et al, 2001
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Dementia with Lewy bodies is associated with impaired odour detection. Misdiagnosis may have accounted for some previous reports of impaired odour detection in Alzheimer's disease. Simple but more sensitive tests of anosmia are required if they are to e clinically useful in identifying patients with dementia with Lewy bodies.
