AB After a cluster of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) cases among unusually young patients was reported recently from the United Kingdom, we examined trends and the current incidence of CJD in the United States. We found that the age-adjusted CJD death rate in the United States is similar to published estimates of the crude incidence of CJD worldwide and has continued to be stable from 1979 through 1994. The number of CJD deaths in persons <45 years of age remained stable during this period. We found no evidence of the variant form of CJD.
IN In den USA scheinen sich von 1979 bis 1994 weder die CJK-Inzidenz, noch die Altersverteilung verändert zu haben. Es wurden auch bisher keine Fälle von vCJK diagnostiziert. Die Autoren fanden anscheinend auch keine Hinweise auf ein erhöhtes CJK-Risiko bei Blutern.
