AB A 51-year-old man who died of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), had transient dyskinesias with intention myoclonus and exaggerated startle reaction in early life. This may suggest a link between myoclonic encephalopathy of infants and CJD, and an incubation period of more than 40 years of the transmissible agent of CJD.
