TI Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and lyophilised dura mater grafts: report of two cases.
QU Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry 1993 Sep; 56(9): 999-1000
PT journal article; review; review of reported cases
AB Two further cases of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) in association with cadaveric dura mater grafts are described. The clinical features of all such reported cases resemble more closely those of sporadic CJD, in contrast with kuru and the cases of CJD which have arisen after therapy with human pituitary-derived growth hormone. This observation may reflect the route of inoculation of the agent.
IN Die Autoren berichten über 2 Fälle von Creutzfeldt-Jakob-Krankheit bei Menschen, denen zuvor dura mater von Toten implantiert worden war. Diese Fälle sollen eher sporadischen Fällen, als Kuru oder den durch Wachstumshormone verursachten Fällen geähnelt haben.
