The predictive value of electrophysiologic visual testing in Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) was investigated, and the retinal pathologic findings in three cases are reported.The fatal prognosis of CJD, its transmissibility, and the lack of treatment make early diagnosis essential in averting human-to-human transmission.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), a neurodegenerative disorder that is the commonest form of human prion disease or transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs). Four types of CJD are known: Sporadic (sCJD), familial or genetic (gCJD); iatrogenic (iCJD) and variant CJD (vCJD). The latter results from transmission of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (

Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease
The American Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2022Being considered among the most fatal neurological conditions, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy characterized by its unknown etiology and rapidly progressive neurodegenerative symptoms that often lead to a mean survival of 6 to 12 months.

Journal of Neuropathology and Experimental Neurology, 1985
The historical aspects of spongiform encephalopathies, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) and kuru of man, as well as scrapie and transmissible mink encephalopathy, are outlined. Transmissions of these diseases to animal hosts are presented, with emphasis on CJD transmissions to guinea pigs, hamsters, and mice.

This review will explore the clinical and pathological findings of the various forms of Creutzfeldt‐Jakob disease (CJD). Clinical findings of CJD are characterized by rapidly progressive cognitive dysfunction, diffusion‐weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) hyperintensity, myoclonus, periodic sharp‐wave complexes on electroencephalogram and ...

While the incidence of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is very low worldwide, sufficient cases are appearing in neurological units to warrant increasing nursing information. In this article epidemiology, etiology, clinical manifestations, and diagnosis, specific nursing diagnoses and suggested areas of intervention with special reference to family ...

Familial Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease
Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 1979A Finnish family is described with 9 cases of presenile dementia in 3 generations. The mean age at onset was 52 years (range 46--62 years). Progressive dementia, upper motor neuron signs, muscular rigidity, and twitching, irregular tremors were consistent features in the 6 clinically investigated patients and were associated with spongiform change in ...

UNDERSTANDING Creutzfeldt-Jakob DISEASE
Journal of Gerontological Nursing, 1997ABSTRACT The "mad cow disease" that decimated cattle in England has brought widespread attention to a similar disease in humans, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). This has led to concerns about the transmissibility and contagiousness of the infectious agent from possible OD patients to health care workers and family members.
