Ask the Expert Clinical Bibliographies Hand Disinfection Job Files Microbiology Special Reports Special Report: Creutzfeldt Jacob Disease By Kate Woodhead RGN DMS Creutzfeldt Jacob Disease, as an emerging disease has been the source of major concern within communities in Europe recently, where the incidence is highest. The disease is being actively researched in many corners of the world in order to understand how it affects patients and how it may be best managed by health professionals. Currently there are more questions than answers, although additional data is coming to light all the time. Ironically, the dynamic nature of the scientific information is also a problem for families of victims, hospitals and health care professionals. CJD is presenting a huge challenge to the scientific, epidemiological and health care professionals to identify and reduce possible transmissions of this new disease whose causative agent is even now, little understood ( 85% of all Creutzfeldt Jacob Disease is caused by sporadic CJD, the incidence worldwide is 1 in a million per year and it was first described in 1921(

Philip M. Parker, INSEAD. CREUTZFELDT-JACOB DISEASE Specialty Definition: CREUTZFELDT-JACOB DISEASE Domain Definition Agriculture A sporadic and rare, but fatal human disease that usually strikes people over 65. It occurs worldwide at an estimated annual rate of one case per million population. About 10-15% of CJD cases are inherited. A small number of cases occurred as the result of various medical treatments or procedures which inadvertently transferred the CJD agent. In March 1996, the British government announced a possible link between bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and CJD. The announcement was prompted by the discovery of several atypical cases of CJD in Great Britain. (CJD). ( references Source: compiled by the editor from various references ; see credits.

Telephone: Fax: CREUTZFELDT-JACOB DISEASE INFORMATIONAL RELEASE PITTSBURGH, June 12, 2002 CJD In April 2001 a patient had surgery at UPMC Presbyterian to treat a condition of the nervous system. The surgical instruments were sterilized with standard procedures following the surgery. In the first quarter of 2002, the patient died from progression of a neurological disorder. Following the patient's death it was determined upon autopsy, for the first time, that the patient had Creutzfeldt-Jacob Disease (CJD). This disease is believed to be transmitted by an infectious protein, or prion. Prions may not be eliminated by standard instrument sterilization processes. The instruments used in the patient's surgery presented an extremely low risk of transmitting CJD to patients who had neurosurgery with these instruments during the period from April 17, 2001 to April 6, 2002. There are only a very small number of reported cases of CJD developing after exposure of a patient to instruments used in a prior surgery on an individual with CJD, the most recent being in Europe in 1976. No such cases have been reported in the United States since the adoption of the standard sterilization techniques which were in use at the time of the patient's operation in April of 2001.

Volume 25-01 1 January 1999 Table of Contents SURVEILLANCE FOR CREUTZFELDT-JACOB DISEASE IN CANADA Health Canada conducts active surveillance for Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) through the CJD Surveillance System (CJD-SS). Information collected from the surveillance system will be used to determine if there is any risk of developing CJD as a result of receiving a blood/blood product transfusion or following tissue transplantation. As a member of an international project team, CJD-SS Canada also conducts surveillance for new variant CJD (nvCJD). To date, 48 cases reported in 1997 and 1998 have been enrolled in the study. This includes some cases that have turned out not to be CJD. Over the next several years, CJD-SS will continue to use active surveillance methods to seek out and investigate all cases of CJD occurring in Canada. Although we expect to be notified of cases primarily through neurologists, neuropathologists, and geriatricians, we ask that any physician aware of a case of CJD contact the surveillance system at our toll free number . Current information on the epidemiology of CJD in Canada is derived from published Statistics Canada mortality data for the years 1979 to 1996 (CJD was not listed as a cause of death before 1979). Overall, 421 deaths attributed to CJD were recorded in Canada in the 18-year period from 1979 to 1996, ranging from 14 to 34 per year, with a 1:1 male-to-female ratio. Eighty percent of deaths occurred in persons at least 60 years old, and 50% occurred in those 60 to 69 years of age, corresponding to the peak age of onset for sporadic-type CJD

CALIFORNIA CREUTZFELDT-JAKOB DISEASE (CJD) SURVEILLANCE PROJECT California Emerging Infections Program GOALS Conduct enhanced surveillance for CJD, variant CJD and other emerging forms of CJD We conduct ongoing review of CJD mortality data to monitor for any increase in the occurrence of CJD. We perform follow-up review of pertinent clinical and neuropathologic records of CJD cases in persons under age 55 years and investigate CJD cases with possible environmental or unusual sources of infection. Increase the autopsy rate of suspected CJD cases Only pathologic review of brain tissue can confirm the diagnosis and distinguish between classic and variant forms of CJD. Currently it is estimated that only 22% (40% under age 55 and 18% age 55 and older) of all CJD cases in California are autopsied. HISTORY The California Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Surveillance Project is funded by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) through the California Emerging Infections Program (EIP) to improve the public health capacity to detect cases of CJD. In 1996, the first cases of variant CJD occurring in unusually young persons and resulting from ingestion of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE)-contaminated beef were identified in the United Kingdom. Since then, the CDC and the EIP have conducted enhanced surveillance and death certificate reviews.
