TI Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in a patient with a cadaveric dural graft
QU Neurology 1991 Jun; 41(6): 940-1
PT journal article
AB We report a 26-year-old woman with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) who had received cadaveric dural material 33 months before the onset of neurologic symptoms. This is the fourth case in which a dural graft was the putative source of the CJD agent. All four cases had the grafting before changes in the sterilization procedure adopted in 1987 to inactivate the CJD agent.
