A 58-year old woman was brought to the emergency department with confusion. Her husband stated that for several hours she had been ‘‘drifting in and out’’ at home, and that he had to ‘‘shout to get her attention.’’ He described no seizure activity, weakness, incontinence, or difficulty speaking, and had noted no complaints of headache, fevers, chest pain, shortness of breath, or gastrointestinal complaints.
