These are abnormalities believed to be caused by damage done to the brain by a protein called a prion. This protein folds abnormally, and seems to encourage other proteins to become similarly misshapen, affecting their ability to function. Creuztfeldt-Jakob Disease Central Nervous System Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease can occur sporadically (for no known reason), as a result of exposure to contaminated products. Rarely, it can be genetically inherited. The disorder itself is rare, occurring in about 1 out of 1 million people. It usually first appears in midlife, beginning between ages 20 and 70, with average age at onset of symptoms in the late 50s.

Custodial care may be required early in the course of the disease. Medications may be needed to control aggressive behaviors. These include sedatives, antipsychotics, and others. The need to provide a safe environment, control aggressive or agitated behavior, and meet physiologic needs may require monitoring and assistance in the home or in an institutionalized setting. Family counseling may help in coping with the changes required for home care. Visiting nurses or aides, volunteer services, homemakers, adult protective services, and other community resources may be helpful in caring for the person with Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease. Behavior modification may be helpful, in some cases, for controlling unacceptable or dangerous behaviors. This consists of rewarding appropriate or positive behaviors and ignoring inappropriate behaviors (within the bounds of safety). Reality

Kingston General Hospital Infection Control Service Fact Sheet on CJD This fact sheet provides basic general information only and is to be used as a quick guide, not as a complete resource on the subject. If you have any further questions, ask your own physician, local health unit or health care worker. CREUTZFELDT-JACOB DISEASE (CJD) What is it? Creutzfeldt-Jacob Disease (CJD) is a progressive, degenerative neurologic disorder with a clinically latent stage of up to 30 years. The duration from the onset of symptoms to death is 6 - 12 months. The symptoms include progressive ataxia, myoclonus, dementia with memory loss, vertigo, visual disturbances and EEG changes. The incidence of CJD in Canada is estimated at one case per million per year. The infectious agent is referred to as a prion, for proteinacious infectious particle. The prion is very resistant to regular decontamination and sterilization methods.CJD cases are presently classified as:a) Genetic: a familial form (5-15% of cases)b) Infectious: iatrogenic transmission: corneal transplants / dura mater grafts / pituitary hormones from CJD infected donors or inadequately sterilized CJD contaminated neurosurgical stereotactic electrodes ( <1% of cases).c) Sporadic: from an unknown source (90% of cases)Other prion diseases include Kuru, Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker disease (a genetic disease), Fatal Familial Insomnia (a genetic disease). Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) is a disease in cattle related to contaminated feed made from scrapie infected sheep and cattle. An outbreak of a variant of CJD (vCJD), thought to be related to the ingestion of BSE contaminated beef, was detected in 1997 in Europe. vCJD has a shorter incubation period, and presents in a younger population (

FDA Home Page CFSAN Home Search/Subject Index Help January 14, 2004; Updated July 9, 2004, June 30, 2005 and September 14, 2005 Commonly Asked Questions About BSE in Products Regulated by FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) In light of the June 24, 2005 announcement of the second case of BSE in a cow in the United States, CFSAN has reviewed the products it regulates to ensure their safety. What is "Mad Cow Disease" (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy/BSE)? Mad Cow Disease is the commonly used name for Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), a slowly progressive, degenerative, fatal disease affecting the central nervous system of adult cattle. Since 1990, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has conducted aggressive surveillance of the highest risk cattle going to slaughter in the United States. What causes BSE? The exact cause of BSE is not known but it is generally accepted by the scientific community that the likely cause is infectious forms of a type of protein, prions, normally found in animals cause BSE. In cattle with BSE, these abnormal prions initially occur in the small intestines and tonsils, and are found in central nervous tissues, such as the brain and spinal cord, and other tissues of infected animals experiencing later stages of the disease. Was a second case of BSE identified in the U.S. in June 2005?

Surveillance For Creutzfeldt-Jacob Disease In Canada - CCDR Volume 25-01 - Healt Health Canada conducts active surveillance for CreutzfeldtJakob disease (CJD) through the CJD Surveillance System (CJD-SS).

Volume 25-01 1 January 1999 Table of Contents SURVEILLANCE FOR CREUTZFELDT-JACOB DISEASE IN CANADA Health Canada conducts active surveillance for Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) through the CJD Surveillance System (CJD-SS). Information collected from the surveillance system will be used to determine if there is any risk of developing CJD as a result of receiving a blood/blood product transfusion or following tissue transplantation. As a member of an international project team, CJD-SS Canada also conducts surveillance for new variant CJD (nvCJD). To date, 48 cases reported in 1997 and 1998 have been enrolled in the study. This includes some cases that have turned out not to be CJD. Over the next several years, CJD-SS will continue to use active surveillance methods to seek out and investigate all cases of CJD occurring in Canada. Although we expect to be notified of cases primarily through neurologists, neuropathologists, and geriatricians, we ask that any physician aware of a case of CJD contact the surveillance system at our toll free number . Current information on the epidemiology of CJD in Canada is derived from published Statistics Canada mortality data for the years 1979 to 1996 (CJD was not listed as a cause of death before 1979). Overall, 421 deaths attributed to CJD were recorded in Canada in the 18-year period from 1979 to 1996, ranging from 14 to 34 per year, with a 1:1 male-to-female ratio. Eighty percent of deaths occurred in persons at least 60 years old, and 50% occurred in those 60 to 69 years of age, corresponding to the peak age of onset for sporadic-type CJD
