Blood Safety and Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (Variant CJD) August 2002 In April 2002, a suspected case of variant CJD was reported to Health Canada's CJD Surveillance System. Because of the clinical presentation, age of the patient and past multiple stays in the United Kingdom (UK), this was classified as a possible variant CJD case. However, the diagnosis of classical CJD was also considered. As part of the investigation, a full medical history was obtained. The following information on this case can be shared: The patient, a male under the age of 50, had multiple stays in the UK during the outbreak of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), commonly know as "mad-cow disease."

It provides an overview of dementias related to Alzheimer Disease.] Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) is a form of progressive dementia characterized by loss of nerve cells and degeneration of nerve cell membranes leading to the production of small holes in the brain. CJD usually has rapid onset and decline. Early symptoms include lapses in memory, mood swings similar to depression, lack of interest and social withdrawal. The person may become unsteady on his/her feet. Later symptoms may include blurred vision, sudden jerking movements and rigidity in the limbs. The person may experience slurred speech and have difficulty swallowing. Eventually, movement and speech are lost. Who gets Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease?

Extractions: Licensing Reference Center Search Disease Fact Sheet Series: Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) What is CJD? CJD is a rare disease of humans that affects the nervous system and results in rapidly progressive dementia, loss of motor control, paralysis, and death. It is one of several related diseases called transmissible spongiform encephalopathies or TSEs for short. The term "encephalopathy" means the brain is affected, and the term "spongiform" refers to the microscopic holes seen in the brain, giving it a sponge-like appearance. Various animal species have distinct types of TSEs. In addition to CJD which affects humans, other TSEs include bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, also known as "mad cow disease"), scrapie in sheep, and chronic wasting disease (CWD) in deer and elk. Cats and mink also have their own types of TSEs. What causes CJD? It is caused by a recently identified infectious agent called a prion , which is a self-replicating protein. The current theory is that a normal version of the prion protein, found in all people, is somehow converted in a diseased individual to an abnormal form. This abnormal CJD prion produces the brain lesions that result in the disease.

creutzfeldtjakob disease A Report to Embalmers. Curtis D. Rostad,CFSP Highlands Ranch, Colorado. What is creutzfeldt-jakob disease?
http://www.wyfda.org/cj.html

Extractions: Highlands Ranch, Colorado Introduction Throughout the 130 plus years of modern embalming, funeral service has faced many infectious and potentially fatal diseases and has still found ways to serve families and protect the public health. We have survived the emergence of TB, polio, hepatitis, and HIV/AIDS because we have formaldehyde and other embalming chemicals that effectively kill the bacteria and viruses that cause these diseases and we have learned to protect ourselves from infection during the embalming process. As long as we never encounter an organism that is resistant to formaldehyde and other embalming chemicals, and as long as we have the means to protect ourselves, we will always be able to serve the public with our skills. But what if , in the future, an organism comes along that we can not destroy through embalming? What then? Well, the future is now. Such a disease exists. There is no diagnostic test for it. You can have it for up to 25 years and not know it There is no vaccine There is no cure There is no treatment It is infectious It is always fatal Formaldehyde doesn't touch it There are no embalming chemicals that will kill it Common methods of disinfection and sterilization won't kill it.

Extractions: INCIDENCE The incidence of classical CJD is approximately 1 in 1,000,000. CJD in persons under 30 years old has an incidence of 5 in 1,000,000,000. SEQUELAE The disease is uniformly fatal in cases that are recognized with clinical syndrome. COST Unknown. The recent withdrawal of blood products by the American Red Cross due to possible contamination by infected blood donors was estimated to be a $50 million loss. The Canadian Red Cross also did a massive recall of blood plasma products. TRANSMISSION Most cases are sporadic with unknown mechanism of transmission. Five percent of cases are familial. CJD induced inadvertently by medical treatment include a) following surgical procedures, b) following cadaveric corneal or dura transplants and c) following growth hormone therapy derived from cadaveric pituitary glands. RISK GROUPS 1) Classical CJD is predominantly a disease of the elderly with peak number of deaths at age 65-69, 2) familial CJD, 3) iatrogenic (see Transmission). SURVEILLANCE The diagnostic error in clinical diagnosis of CJD is 25 percent with reluctance on the part of pathologists to confirm the diagnosis by necropsy.

http://brighamrad.harvard.edu/Cases/bwh/hcache/156/full.html

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: Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and bovine spongiform encephalopathy ("mad cow disease") Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a degenerative neurologic disease acquired by eating beef from cows with a related illness known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) ("mad cow disease"). The disorder was initially described in the United Kingdom. As of February 2003, there were 129 definite or probable cases of variant CJD reported from the United Kingdom, six from France, and two from the Republic of Ireland. "Mad cow disease" has also been identified in Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Greece, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, Israel, and Japan, but human cases have not been reported from these countries to date. Bovine spongiform encephalopathy appears to be caused by abnormal proteins called prions, which do not resemble bacteria, viruses, or other conventional causes of human and animal disease. The agent that causes BSE is transmitted when meat and bone meal feed prepared from the carcasses of infected animals is fed back to other cattle. (This practice has been banned within the European Union and many other countries). The infection is not transmitted directly from animal to animal within herds. A new case of BSE arising within a country is therefore much more significant than an imported case, because it implies that recycled ruminant protein is still being used within that country as animal feed, against all current recommendations.

Extractions: Printer-friendly version Fast Facts Last update: August 15, 2001 The technical name for mad cow-like diseases are transmissible spongiform encephalopathies or TSEs. TSEs are a family of deadly dementia diseases that include mad cow disease, scrapie in sheep, chronic wasting disease (CWD) in deer and elk, and New Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (nvCJD) in people worldwide. New Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is the suspected human form of mad cow disease, a chronic wasting disease that spreads through the food chain. It spreads by way of little-understood proteins called prions. Epidemiologists believe that human beings can be infected when they eat animals that have TSE. Mad cow disease is sometimes referred to by scientists as BSE, or bovine spongiform encephalopathy. Scientists believe that the practice of feeding animals to animals, such as in livestock feed, greatly accelerates the spread of TSEs. TSE is occurring at epidemic levels in deer and elk in the western United States and on game farms, and scientists believe people may already be dying in the U.S. from consuming infected game. A 1999 study funded by the National Institutes of Health demonstrated for the first time that TSE can pass from animals into humans in the form of nvCJD.
