    Clinical Overview of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD)

    Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rapidly progressive and always fatal neurodegenerative disorder. It is believed to be caused by prions, disease-causing agents that can cause abnormal folding of normal proteins in the body. Infection usually leads to death within one year of symptom onset.

    How is Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease mediated?
    Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is mediated via prions , a type of protein, which manifests in sheep as the disease scrapie, and in cows as bovine spongiform encephalopathy. Prions are considered infectious in the sense that they can alter the structure of neighboring proteins.
