The occurrence of transfusion transmissions of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) cases has reawakened attention to the possible similar risk posed by other forms of CJD. CJD with a definite or probable diagnosis (sporadic CJD, n = 741; genetic CJD, n = 175) and no-CJD patients with ...

Most cases have occurred in the UK, but smaller numbers of cases have been identified in 10 other countries worldwide. All confirmed cases belong to a single genetic subgroup defined by methionine homozygosity at codon 129 in the prion protein gene. Variant CJD has a widespread distribution of ...
and the number of new cases peaked in 2000, suggesting that the disease takes around 10 years to incubate. But there is still debate about the eventual size of the epidemic; no one knows whether many more are actually infected or for how many years they might incubate the disease before th...

13.Despite the initial similarities, screening produced no confirmed cases of CJD. 14.Prof Collins says he is "not overly optimistic" about a cure for CJD, the most common in a group of transmissible disorders known as prion diseases.
摘要: Fourteen cases of new-variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease have so far been confirmed in the United Kingdom. Are they the start of an epidemic? If so, how informative will cases in the next few years be in predicting its course?

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is the most common human prion disease; the sporadic form accounts for about 85% of cases. Acquired CJD, which probably accounts for < 1% of CJD cases, can result from ingesting beef contaminated by prions (in variant CJD [vCJD]) or can be acqui...
By February 1998 the CSM had extended advice about recalls to strongly suspected cases of vCJD and had recommended avoiding UK sources ofalbumin in the preparation ofdiagnostics and other products. As part of the risk assessment the two UK transfusion services involved in plasma fractionation, the ...
