The National Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Surveillance Unit
The incidence of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is monitored in the UK by the National CJD surveillance unit based at the Western General Hospital in Edinburgh, Scotland. The unit brings together a team of clinical neurologists, neuropathologists and scientists specialising in the investigation of this disease. This document is intended to summarise the research in progress at the CJD unit and also provide some background information about CJD and other human spongiform encephalopathies. We have also provided some links to other resources and contrary points of view available on the Web.

The Many Faces of Creutzfeldt-Jakob
Disease (CJD)
Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) is a horrendous infectious rapidly progressive fatal brain-deteriorating disease for which there is no treatment or cure. One strain, nvCJD, is linked to bovine spongiform encephalopathy (i.e. Mad Cow Disease) in Great Britain. CJD often escapes detection. A common misdiagnosis is Alzheimer's Disease. The personal stories on this website put a face on CJD. The stories are written by teenagers and adults. Most of the stories tell of people who have died of CJD or currently have CJD. These stories describe the symptoms and progression of the disease as well as the problems in getting it correctly diagnosed.
Other stories tell what it is like to receive a notice that the blood products your child received as a baby have been recalled from the market due to the theoretical risk of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease. While the risk may be theoretical, the anxiety that results from receiving such a notice is very real and changes one's life forever.
Another story that deals with the theoretical risk of blood transmission of CJD is by a USAF Retired serviceman and former blood donor.

CREUTZFELDT-JAKOB DISEASE FACT SHEET 1/1998 BY DEBORAH ONEY, MASTER OF SOCIAL WORK CO-FOUNDER, BLOOD RECALL/WITHDRAWAL - CJD Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) is an infectious rapidly progressive fatal brain-deteriorating disease for which there is no treatment or cure. Most scientists believe CJD is caused by a prion, which is a protein. People in the United States and throughout the world get CJD. One strain nvCJD is thought to be related to bovine spongiform encephalopathy (i.e. Mad Cow Disease) in the United Kingdom. To date no nvCJD cases have been observed in the United States. Normal sterilization procedures do not inactivate the CJD infectious agent. The incubation period varies greatly with symptoms emerging in known cases in 15 months to 30 years after exposure. There is no preclinical test to determine if infection took place after a possible exposure. WHO GETS CJD AND HOW? CJD most frequently appears in people ages 50-75. However, there are victims in their 40s, 30s and even 20s. The officially stated mortality rate of about one person per million per year appears to be an under statement since CJD often escapes detection. In a Yale University study 13% of clinically-diagnosed Alzheimer patients were found on autopsy to have CJD. There are three forms of CJD: familial (about 5-10% of cases), sporadic (cause unknown, about 90-95%) and iatrogenic (caused by a medical procedure such as contaminated cadaver-derived growth hormones, dura mater implants, and cornea transplants, less than 1%). Athletes who use cadaver-derived growth hormones are at risk for CJD.

Never doubt
That a small group
Of dedicated people
Can change the world.
Indeed,
It is the only thing
That ever has.
Margaret Mead
Welcome to the Blood Recall/Withdrawal - Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) website. This website is the home of the Blood-CJD support/discussion group. It was created to fill the needs of people who have received notices that the blood products that they, or their children, received, or that were used in the In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) cultures that produced their children, were recalled/withdrawn from the market because a member of the donor pool was diagnosed with Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) or was at risk for the disease. CJD is an infectious rapidly progressive fatal brain-deteriorating disease. It is a member of the class of diseases called Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSEs). Another TSE is Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (i.e. Mad Cow Disease). Note: We try to present different views on issues when possible. Therefore, the views represented by the authors of the linked web pages do not necessarily represent the views of Blood Recall/Withdrawal - Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD).
