Iatrogenic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

Handbook of clinical neurology - 1 Jan 2018

Kobayashi Atsushi, Kitamoto Tetsuyuki, Mizusawa Hidehiro

Abstract excerpt

Iatrogenic transmission of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) has occurred through particular medical procedures. Among them, dura mater grafts and pituitary-derived growth hormone obtained from human cadavers undiagnosed as CJD are the most frequent sources of infection. Recent advances in our knowledge about dura mater graft- and human pituitary-derived growth hormone-associated CJD patients have revealed that the...
