Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease

Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (CJD) also known as classic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease, is a fatal degenerative brain disorder.[4][1]

Early symptoms include memory problems, behavioral changes, poor coordination, and visual disturbances.[4] Later symptoms include dementia, involuntary movements, blindness, weakness, and coma.[4] About 70% of people die within a year of diagnosis.[4] CJD is caused by a protein known as a prion.[5] Infectious prions are misfolded proteins that can cause normally folded proteins to become misfolded.[4] Most cases occur spontaneously, while about 7.5% of cases are inherited from a person's parents in an autosomal dominant manner.[4] Exposure to brain or spinal tissue from an infected person may also result in spread.[4] There is no evidence that it can spread between people via normal contact or blood transfusions.[4] Diagnosis involves ruling out other potential causes.[4] An electroencephalogram, spinal tap, or magnetic resonance imaging may support the diagnosis.[4]
