The epidemiology of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in Canada: a review of mortality data.

E Stratton1, M N Ricketts, P R Gully.   

Abstract

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), and particularly its transmissibility through blood and blood products, has become a focus of concern in Canada. The recent identification of new variant CJD led to a review of the Canadian mortality database to identify any clustering of CJD by age, sex, or geographic location.
