Deaths linked to rare brain disease?
Two possible cases of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease were identified in
Cleveland County that possibly claimed the lives of two individuals in Dec. 2012
and January of this year. CJD comes in various forms and could have a relation
to mad cow disease which has never been identified or found in the county or the
state. CJD can be contracted through genetics, sporadically or through contact
with contaminated human tissues.

A type of rare, degenerative brain disease - not unlike mad cow disease -
may have claimed the lives of two county residents within the span of two
months, according to local health officials.
Deaths of two people - one in January of this year and another in December
2012 - were labeled “probable cases” of Creutzfeldt-Jakob’s disease (CJD),
according to Kim Crane, communicable disease and prevention supervisor for the
Cleveland County Health Department.
Diseases like CJD are marked by abnormal proteins called prions that can
develop in the brains of both humans and animals, according to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention.
About 350 deaths related to CJD were reported in the U.S. during 2009,
according to the CDC’s website.
Thirteen CJD-related deaths were reported by the NC Department of Health
and Human Services in 2010, the most recent year in which stats for disease
cases were available. None of the cases reported were related to mad cow
disease.
Crane said she wasn't allowed to release any additional information about
the individuals involved in both cases, such as age, gender, residency in the
county and additional medical information.
Varying forms of the disease
CJD comes in many forms, but two are most prominent: variant and classic.
Variant, or vCJD, has been linked to outbreaks of people eating infected
beef from animals with bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), also known as
“mad cow disease.” Cases of variant CJD and BSE appeared almost simultaneously
in the United Kingdom during the early 1990s, according to the Mayo Clinic’s
website.
In 1996, three cases of CJD were identified in the US, but they were
contracted in the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia, according to Marilyn Haskell,
a public health veterinarian and epidemiologist with the N.C. Department of
Health and Human Services.
Classic CJD occurs spontaneously in humans from abnormal brain prions. It
is not related to mad cow disease, Haskell said.
Classic CJD usually develops later in life around age 60, the CDC reports,
while the average age of people contacting CJD linked to mad cow disease is
about 28 years old.
“Having a probable case does not mean the person had CJD,” Haskell said.
No other probable or confirmed cases of CJD were reported on record in the
county, Crane said.
Confirming presence of the disease
Generally, CJD carries symptoms similar to other brain disorders such as
advanced Alzheimer’s, including dementia, memory loss, difficulty speaking and
personality changes.
A person can have classic CJD for years before symptoms surface, and most
classic forms are fatal.
CJD can only be confirmed by a human brain autopsy or biopsy after death,
according to health officials.
An autopsy wasn’t performed on either of the two probable cases in
Cleveland County, Crane said.
Autopsies to confirm CJD in North Carolina have to be arranged by the
hospital handling the case, Haskell said.
There is no known prevention or cure for classic CJD.
The disease can also be inherited through genetics or contaminated brain
tissue. Passing contaminated tissues can occur in medical procedures, including
cornea, skin transplants and even surgeries with contaminated instruments, the
Mayo Clinic reports.
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke says forms of
CJD can’t be passed on through the air or by touching.

What is Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease?
A rare, degenerative fatal brain disorder that affects one person in every
1 million people per year worldwide. About 200 cases are reported in the US each
year.
Symptoms of CJD
Signs of CJD can sometimes mirror Alzheimer’s Disease, including:
-Failing memory
-Behavioral changes
-Lack of coordination
-Behavioral changes
-Blindness
-Coma may occur
Most individuals with CJD die within one year after symptoms surface
What are the different forms of CJD?
- Classic or sporadic : the disease appears even though the person has no
known risk factors for the disease. This accounts for 85 percent of cases.
- Hereditary : Marked by a family history of the disease that can be tested
for a genetic mutation associated with CJD.
- Variant : Linked to people eating infected beef with bovine spongiform
encephalopathy (BSE) found in cows, also known as “mad cow disease.”
- CJD can also be transmitted through contact with contaminated brain
tissue from surgeries or medical procedures
How many cases of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease were reported in N.C.?
Since 2011, 13 cases of confirmed, suspected or probable types of CJD cases
were reported in the state.
*Note: No cases of variant CJD, suspected to be related to mad cow disease,
have ever been reported or identified in North Carolina.

The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services
How can you get help?
Contact the Cleveland County Health Department at 704-484-5100 for any
questions about CJD or if you're experiencing any of the above symptoms. Also
contact your local healthcare provider.
1 in a million ???
or really, what officials don’t publish, 1 in 9,000 CJD cases per year in
the population group age 55 and older.

o.k., someone explain to me how you can have a sporadic FFI, but with no
family genetic connection, and it still be a familial type prion disease, yet be
similar to the atypical h-g-BSE in the USA, but no human TSE there from in USA?
sporadic cjd, sporadic ffi, sporadic gss, now VPSPr?, all these human TSE
are simply a human TSE prion disease of _unknown_ route and source, and
officials have no clue if they are zoonosis or not.
consumption, medical, surgical, dental, friendly fire from sub-clinical TSE
consumption, to iCJD in someone else ???
all iatrogenic CJD is, is sporadic CJD until route and source of the TSE
prion agent is confirmed, and this is not done very often.
and remember, iCJD, is friendly fire from another person, i.e. the pass it
forward mode of mad cow disease.
NOW, there is evidence that some sporadic CJD is linked to the atypical BSE
and atypical Scrapie.
the UKBSEnvCJD only theory should be put to bed once and for all.
the USA and North America have more _documented_ TSE prion disease in the
wild and livestock and different species (other than zoo animals, canine and
feline TSE prion history), than any other country in the world, or continent.
consumption, sub-clinical there from, and from that, what about second hand
transmission via medical surgical, iatrogenic routes ???
I don’t buy the star trek like cloaking device for humans, the usda cdc fda
et al claim we have from the many different strains of mad cow disease, mad
sheep and goat disease, and mad deer and elk disease in the USA. ..tss

EFSA Journal 2011 The European Response to BSE: A Success Story
snip...
EFSA and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC)
recently delivered a scientific opinion on any possible epidemiological or
molecular association between TSEs in animals and humans (EFSA Panel on
Biological Hazards (BIOHAZ) and ECDC, 2011). This opinion confirmed Classical
BSE prions as the only TSE agents demonstrated to be zoonotic so far but the
possibility that a small proportion of human cases so far classified as
"sporadic" CJD are of zoonotic origin could not be excluded. Moreover,
transmission experiments to non-human primates suggest that some TSE agents in
addition to Classical BSE prions in cattle (namely L-type Atypical BSE,
Classical BSE in sheep, transmissible mink encephalopathy (TME) and chronic
wasting disease (CWD) agents) might have zoonotic potential.

Seven main threats for the future linked to prions
First threat
The TSE road map defining the evolution of European policy for protection
against prion diseases is based on a certain numbers of hypotheses some of which
may turn out to be erroneous. In particular, a form of BSE (called atypical
Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy), recently identified by systematic testing in
aged cattle without clinical signs, may be the origin of classical BSE and thus
potentially constitute a reservoir, which may be impossible to eradicate if a
sporadic origin is confirmed.
***Also, a link is suspected between atypical BSE and some apparently
sporadic cases of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans. These atypical BSE cases
constitute an unforeseen first threat that could sharply modify the European
approach to prion diseases.

*** The discovery of previously unrecognized prion diseases in both humans
and animals (i.e., Nor98 in small ruminants) demonstrates that the range of
prion diseases might be wider than expected and raises crucial questions about
the epidemiology and strain properties of these new forms. We are investigating
this latter issue by molecular and biological comparison of VPSPr, GSS and
Nor98.
