The incidence of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) in Finland in 1974-1989 was reported to be 0.6/1 000 000. Our aim was to compare the current incidence of CJD in Finland with the earlier incidence and also study the diagnostics of the disease. Register study of the Finnish CJD cases from 1997 to 2012 and the clinical data of CJD patients within the Hospital District of Southwest Finland from 2007 to 2013. There were 119 cases. The average yearly incidence was 1.36-1.44/1 000 000. Compared with the previous study, the incidence in Finland appears to have increased. The change is propably due to increased awareness and improved diagnostic methods.
