  • Creutzfeldt-Jacobsova bolezen = Creutzfeldt-Jacobs disease
    Beović, Bojana
    Prion diseases represent a novel group of infectious diseases. They are most probably caused by prions, proteinaceous particles, capable of their own replication. Prion diseases may occur ... spontaneously, may be inherited, or linked to a known source of infection. Some of them are known for centuries, but in the last two decades appearance of novel prion diseases has been witnessed. New prion diseases seem to be linked to food supplements containinganimal proteins. In the eighties, bovine spongiform encephalopathy developed in the cattle and was followed by a similar disease in some other domestic animals and animals in the captivity In the nineties a novel variant of Creutzfeldt Jacob (vCJD) disease was described, differing from the sporadicfprrn of CJD in age of the patients, duration of illness, symptoms andsigns, electroencephalographic features and neuropathology. Results of manystuplies support the hypothesis of BSE being the cause of vCJD. The numberof cases of vCJD is still growing and the prognosis of the epidemics is unclear. In the last few years many studies are underway looking after appropriate diagnostic methods and treatment of prion diseases, but new concerns have risen about secondary transmission of the vCJD.
