sub·a·cute spon·gi·form en·ceph·a·lop·a·thy

a form of spongiform encephalopathy that is associated with a "slow virus," which to date has not been adequately described, is transmissible, and has a rapidly progressive, fatal course; for example, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, kuru, Gerstmann-Sträussler syndrome, scrapie. See: prion.

A rare, invariably fatal, kuru-like infection which causes a form of presenile dementia primarily affecting middle-aged adults, caused by a prion
Prognosis No treatment, no cure; CJD progresses rapidly to coma and death in 3 to 12 months

Patient discussion about subacute spongiform encephalopathy

Q. Recently i heard about Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease Recently i heard about Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. I like to know (To ask the Secretary of State for Health), how many people under the age of 20 years in each of the last five years have suffered from Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease; and of these how many had not had any growth treatment previously? How serious is it?A. i found some statistics about what you wanted, but it's only until 1994 :(
