101. Spongiform Encephalopathy Consistent With Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease
     Spongiform Encephalopathy Consistent with creutzfeldtjakob disease. Milos J Janicek, MD Amir A Zamani, MD. MR abnormalities in creutzfeldt-jakob disease.

     Extractions: T2-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) images of the brain obtained two months apart demonstrate increasing conspicuousness of high intensity lesions ( arrows ) affecting the basal ganglia (caudate [white arrow heads] and putamen [black arrows]) symmetrically, with relative sparing of the palladium. The CT scan (obtained after stereotactic biopsy) was unrevealing. Differential diagnosis is relatively short, including Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and clinically unlikely conditions such as familial striatal degeneration, Leigh disease, and Wilson's disease (in which, however, T2 bright lesions are often accompanied by low intensity lesions due to iron pigment deposition). Based on MRI-demonstrated abnormalities, the patient underwent a stereotactic biopsy of the putamen and cerebral cortex, which confirmed the diagnosis of spongiform encephalopathy consistent with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

     Extractions: for healthcare workers and morticians DESCRIPTION: Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare, fatal brain disorder caused by an unknown organism that can be experimentally transmitted from one animal to another, as well as from human patients to other animals. CJD affects both men and women, and most often appears in people ages 50 to 75. In the early stages of CJD, individuals may have failing memory, changes in behavior, lack of coordination, or visual disturbances. As the disease progresses, mental deterioration becomes pronounced, involuntary movements, especially muscle jerks, appear, and the patient may become blind, develop weakness in the arms or legs, and ultimately lapse into a coma. Symptoms of CJD may be similar to those of other progressive neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. NINDS scientists have recently developed a diagnostic test for CJD that will allow doctors to distinguish CJD from other neurological disorders. The low random incidence of CJD indicates that person-to-person transmission probably does not occur. Spouses of patients and other household members appear to be at no higher risk of contracting the disorder than the general population. There is no effective treatment for CJD. The disease usually leads to death within a year of onset.

103. WHO: Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE)
     Communicable disease Surveillance Response (CSR), signs and symptoms. In animals, scrapie is a common disease in sheep and goats.

     Extractions: Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) are a family of diseases of humans and animals characterized by spongy degeneration of the brain with severe and fatal neurological signs and symptoms. In animals, scrapie is a common disease in sheep and goats. Mink and North American mule deer and elk can contract TSEs. Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is also a TSE, affecting a number of species (cattle, human, cats, some types of animals in 300 settings). BSE is a transmissible, neuro-degenerative fatal brain disease of cattle. The disease has a long incubation period of 4-5 years and it is fatal for cattle within weeks to months of its onset. The nature of the BSE agent is still being debated. Strong evidence currently available supports the theory that the agent is composed largely, if not entirely, of a self-replicating protein, referred to as a prion. It is transmitted through the consumption of BSE-contaminated meat and bone meal supplements in cattle feed. FOR MORE INFORMATION WHO fact sheet on BSE
