Misdiagnoses in a Chinese narcoleptic patient with delayed onset of cataplexy.
Narcolepsy is a chronic condition that usually afflicts the patient for decades. It is more common than is generally appreciated. However, it is likely to be misdiagnosed because doctors are unfamiliar with some of the symptoms. Its significant socioeconomic impact on the patient's quality of life warrants prompt medical attention.
