Evidence for case-to-case transmission of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease

R G Will et al. J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry. 1982 Mar.

Three cases of probable iatrogenic transmission of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease by neurosurgery are detailed together with a cluster of three cases in Eastern England possibly connected by dental procedures, and the development of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in a patient who had been in social contact with a familial case.
