Current neurological findings for a Parkinson's patient:
"MER IE stgl m lebhaft, UE allseits nicht sicher, PNZ neg. Sens-insbesonder re Bein oB. Sensibilitat intakt."

With Patricia: PBZ/Pyramidenbahnzeichen fits the context of a neurological exam. Most likely a typo (N is right next to B on a German keyboard). Patricia, why not go ahead and post this as an answer...?
Anne Schulz Mar 18, 2021:
Yes, the keyboard neighbours b and n may easily be mistyped...
Celia Bodnar (asker) Mar 18, 2021:
Quite possible, as there are several other typos
Patricia Daehler Mar 18, 2021:
PBZ? I am wondering if it is a typo for PBZ (Pyramidenbahnzeichen)
