Voor derde keer patiënt aan variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob overleden 2 februari 2009 In Nederland is voor de derde keer de ziekte variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob (vCJD) vastgesteld. De betreffende patiënt overleed begin januari. Na onderzoek in het UMC Utrecht en het Nederlandse CJD-expertisecentrum in Rotterdam is bevestigd dat het gaat om variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob. Deze zeldzame ziekte kan worden overgedragen door het eten van met BSE besmette vleesproducten. BSE is ook wel bekend onder de naam gekkekoeienziekte.
Op dit moment wordt onderzocht hoe groot de kans is dat de patiënt andere mensen heeft besmet. Het RIVM coördineert dit onderzoek. De gegevens die tot dusver zijn verzameld tonen aan dat deze kans uiterst klein is. De overdracht van mens op mens kan plaatsvinden via besmet bloed of weefsel.
Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob De variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob is een zeer zeldzame, door prionen veroorzaakte hersenziekte. De overdracht van variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob op mensen vindt in de meeste gevallen plaats door de consumptie van besmette vleesproducten. Het rundvlees in Nederland is nu veilig, omdat sinds 2001 runderen bij de slacht op BSE worden getest. Ook worden sinds 1997 bij de slacht de meest infectieuze organen, de hersenen en het ruggenmerg van de runderen verzameld en vernietigd om overdracht te voorkomen.
Het is de derde keer dat een patiënt aan variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob is overleden in Nederland. In 2005 en 2006 werd bij twee andere patiënten in Nederland variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob vastgesteld. In de gehele wereld zijn tenminste 200 personen bekend die aan de ziekte zijn overleden, waarvan 167 in Engeland. De overige slachtoffers kwamen uit Frankrijk, Ierland, Italië, Canada, Amerika, Japan, Spanje, Saudi-Arabië en Portugal.

Netherlands reports third human death from mad cow disease
The third person in the Netherlands died of the human variant of mad cow disease, Creutzfeldt-Jakob, in the beginning of January.
THE HAGUE-A third person in four years has died from the human form of mad cow disease in the Netherlands, the national health research agency RIVM said Monday.
"The patient died at the beginning of January," it announced in a press statement. "An investigation has confirmed that the patient died of the variant form of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease."
The incurable disease is contracted from eating beef infected with BSE, also known as mad cow disease-caused by a rogue protein that proliferates in the brain and turns it spongy.
The RIVM did not say how, when or where the patient contracted the disease, but pointed out that the incubation period, from infection to the display of symptoms, could last decades.
Investigations were ongoing into the "very rare chance" that the patient may have infected other people.
The statement stressed that Dutch beef was safe, explaining that all slaughtered cows are since 2001 tested for BSE.
The RIVM said two other people have died of the disease in the Netherlands, one diagnosed in 2005 and the other in 2006.
"About 200 people have died of the disease in the world, 167 of them in Britain," said the statement.

There is a growing number of human CJD cases, and they were presented last week in San Francisco by Luigi Gambatti(?) from his CJD surveillance collection.
He estimates that it may be up to 14 or 15 persons which display selectively SPRPSC and practically no detected RPRPSC proteins.

I lost my mother to hvCJD (Heidenhain Variant CJD). I would like to comment on the CDC's attempts to monitor the occurrence of emerging forms of CJD. Asante, Collinge et al [1] have reported that BSE transmission to the 129-methionine genotype can lead to an alternate phenotype that is indistinguishable from type 2 PrPSc, the commonest sporadic CJD. However, CJD and all human TSEs are not reportable nationally. CJD and all human TSEs must be made reportable in every state and internationally. I hope that the CDC does not continue to expect us to still believe that the 85%+ of all CJD cases which are sporadic are all spontaneous, without route/source. We have many TSEs in the USA in both animal and man. CWD in deer/elk is spreading rapidly and CWD does transmit to mink, ferret, cattle, and squirrel monkey by intracerebral inoculation. With the known incubation periods in other TSEs, oral transmission studies of CWD may take much longer. Every victim/family of CJD/TSEs should be asked about route and source of this agent. To prolong this will only spread the agent and needlessly expose others. In light of the findings of Asante and Collinge et al, there should be drastic measures to safeguard the medical and surgical arena from sporadic CJDs and all human TSEs. I only ponder how many sporadic CJDs in the USA are type 2 PrPSc?

Diagnosis and Reporting of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease
To the Editor: In their Research Letter, Dr Gibbons and colleagues1 reported that the annual US death rate due to Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) has been stable since 1985. These estimates, however, are based only on reported cases, and do not include misdiagnosed or preclinical cases. It seems to me that misdiagnosis alone would drastically change these figures. An unknown number of persons with a diagnosis of Alzheimer disease in fact may have CJD, although only a small number of these patients receive the postmortem examination necessary to make this diagnosis. Furthermore, only a few states have made CJD reportable. Human and animal transmissible spongiform encephalopathies should be reportable nationwide and internationally.
