Rapidly Progressive Probable Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare, fatal brain infection caused by a human prion. Because CJD is associated with rapidly progressive neurological degeneration, it requires high suspicion for diagnosis. We report the case of a 79-year-old patient who presented with a rapidly progressive neurological clinical picture.
