Pneumonia is common in the elderly.
I'm sorry about your father's Parkinson's.
What is the name of the rare disease he's been diagnosed with and/or the
names of the antibodies, please?
I may be able to find you reliable source of information(s) on it.

I do not know answers to this questions yet. I will try to get the
answer as soon as possible. I thought there is no name for the disease
if there was only one case known before, but I will ask for it now.

Thanks for reply. I very appreciate it.
