   http://www.ninds.nih.gov/health_and_medical/disorders/cjd.htm
   
   Extractions: Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare, degenerative, invariably fatal brain disorder. Typically, onset of symptoms occurs at about age 60.. There are three major categories of CJD: sporadic CJD, hereditary CJD, and acquired CJD. There is currently no single diagnostic test for CJD. The first concern is to rule out treatable forms of dementia such as encephalitis or chronic meningitis. The only way to confirm a diagnosis of CJD is by brain biopsy or autopsy. In a brain biopsy, a neurosurgeon removes a small piece of tissue from the patient's brain so that is can be examined by a neurologist. Because a correct diagnosis of CJD does not help the patient, a brain biopsy is discouraged unless it is need to rule out a treatable disorder. While CJD can be transmitted to other people, the risk of this happening is extremely small.

   Extractions: Margaret Mead Welcome to the Blood Recall/Withdrawal - Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) website. This website is the home of the Blood-CJD support/discussion group. It was created to fill the needs of people who have received notices that the blood products that they, or their children, received, or that were used in the In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) cultures that produced their children, were recalled/withdrawn from the market because a member of the donor pool was diagnosed with Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) or was at risk for the disease. CJD is an infectious rapidly progressive fatal brain-deteriorating disease. It is a member of the class of diseases called Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSEs). Another TSE is Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (i.e. Mad Cow Disease). Note: We try to present different views on issues when possible. Therefore, the views represented by the authors of the linked web pages do not necessarily represent the views of Blood Recall/Withdrawal - Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD).

   Extractions: Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) is a horrendous infectious rapidly progressive fatal brain-deteriorating disease for which there is no treatment or cure. One strain, nvCJD, is linked to bovine spongiform encephalopathy (i.e. Mad Cow Disease) in Great Britain. CJD often escapes detection. A common misdiagnosis is Alzheimer's Disease. The personal stories on this website put a face on CJD. The stories are written by teenagers and adults. Most of the stories tell of people who have died of CJD or currently have CJD. These stories describe the symptoms and progression of the disease as well as the problems in getting it correctly diagnosed. Other stories tell what it is like to receive a notice that the blood products your child received as a baby have been recalled from the market due to the theoretical risk of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease. While the risk may be theoretical, the anxiety that results from receiving such a notice is very real and changes one's life forever.

   Extractions: CREUTZFELDT-JAKOB DISEASE FACT SHEET 1/1998 BY DEBORAH ONEY, MASTER OF SOCIAL WORK CO-FOUNDER, BLOOD RECALL/WITHDRAWAL - CJD Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) is an infectious rapidly progressive fatal brain-deteriorating disease for which there is no treatment or cure. Most scientists believe CJD is caused by a prion, which is a protein. People in the United States and throughout the world get CJD. One strain nvCJD is thought to be related to bovine spongiform encephalopathy (i.e. Mad Cow Disease) in the United Kingdom. To date no nvCJD cases have been observed in the United States. Normal sterilization procedures do not inactivate the CJD infectious agent. The incubation period varies greatly with symptoms emerging in known cases in 15 months to 30 years after exposure. There is no preclinical test to determine if infection took place after a possible exposure. WHO GETS CJD AND HOW? CJD most frequently appears in people ages 50-75. However, there are victims in their 40s, 30s and even 20s. The officially stated mortality rate of about one person per million per year appears to be an under statement since CJD often escapes detection. In a Yale University study 13% of clinically-diagnosed Alzheimer patients were found on autopsy to have CJD. There are three forms of CJD: familial (about 5-10% of cases), sporadic (cause unknown, about 90-95%) and iatrogenic (caused by a medical procedure such as contaminated cadaver-derived growth hormones, dura mater implants, and cornea transplants, less than 1%). Athletes who use cadaver-derived growth hormones are at risk for CJD.

9. Infectious Disease News: Spiroplasma May Cause Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease
   Interview with Frank O. Bastian MD.  
   http://www.slackinc.com/general/idn/199606/cjd.htm
   
   Extractions: [Search] Spiroplasma may cause Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Frank O. Bastian, MD, is professor of pathology and director of neuropathology at the University of South Alabama, Mobile. He has published numerous research articles relating to the etiology of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease. In 1991, Bastian edited a book entitled Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease and Other Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (Mosby-Year Book). In 1992, Bastian arranged an international symposium on bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), popularly referred to as mad-cow disease. [What is Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD?)] [How did you connect spiroplasmas with CJD?] ... [Your turn] June 1996 Electron microscopic study of brain biopsy from a patient with CJD showed coiled membranous structure in neuronal process. This structure closely resembles spiroplasma morphology. CJD is a transmissible disease characterized by spongy degeneration of the brain. It strikes about one in 1 million people annually. About 5% of CJD cases occur in families or among certain ethnic groups. The disease has been transmitted inadvertently during medical treatment and surgical procedures. CJD has been transmitted by administration of growth hormone derived from the pituitary glands of people who died from CJD. The disease also has been transmitted by transplantation of corneas and dura tissue obtained from people who died from CJD. CJD has been transmitted experimentally to monkeys by oral feeding of contaminated tissue and to lab animals by infusion of white cells.

This person is a 22-year-old United Kingdom (UK) citizen residing in the United States. Investigators concluded that the disease was contracted in the UK (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, October 18, 2002). The first case of BSE in the United States was identified in an adult Holstein cow from Washington state on December 23, 2003. Preliminary reports suggest that the BSE-infected cow was imported into the United States from Canada in August 2001. The investigation of this case is in progress (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Division of Viral and Rickettsial Diseases). Last Updated: Tuesday, January 13, 2004

    http://www.eufic.org/gb/safe/safe05.htm
    
    Extractions: Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), commonly known as "mad cow disease", is a fatal brain disease that affects cattle. The disease is named after the characteristic sponge-like changes to the brain that it causes. BSE usually has an incubation period of 4-5 years from the time that the animal is exposed. The condition is fatal within weeks or months of its onset. The first signs are weight loss and nervousness. BSE is one type of a group of prion diseases referred to as Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSEs). TSEs are fatal diseases that cause spongy degeneration of the brain and severe neurological symptoms. Another example of a TSE is scrapie, a disease found in sheep and goats. TSEs have also been found in other animals including mink, North American mule deer, elk and cats. TSE's found in humans include Creutzfeldt Jakob Disease (CJD) and variant-Creutzfeldt Jakob Disease (vCJD). What causes BSE?
