Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease With COVID-19 Infection: A Case Report
CUREUS JOURNAL OF MEDICAL SCIENCE(2023)
摘要
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare and rapidly fatal neurological disease. Diagnosis is made through clinical features, imaging, electroencephalography, and cerebrospinal fluid analysis. Sporadic CJD accounts for the majority of cases and occurs due to somatic mutation in the gene or random structural change in the prion protein. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is known to cause neurodegeneration, and CJD acceleration is hypothesized due to systemic inflammatory response and prion misfolding. We present a 70year-old lady with rapidly progressing dementia diagnosed as CJD, with the onset coinciding with COVID-19 infection.
