administration of levodopa significantly improved the swallowing reflex in patients with aspiration pneumonia,4 and that amantadine, a drug that acts by the releasing dopamine from dopaminergic nerve terminals, could lower the risk of pneumonia to about 20% in patients with stroke.5 Therefore, amantadine may also be beneficial in preventing pneumonia in patients with stroke. This drug should be...

Symptomless dysphasia is one of the main causes of pneumonia in elderly people with stroke, and swallowing or the cough reflex can prevent aspiration pneumonia.1 The article by Nakayama and colleagues (May 1998),2 concerning angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and the swallowing reflex, was a fascinating and timely study. We previously reported that ACE inhibitors may cure symptomles...
