The diagnosis of Jakob-Creutzfeld disease was made in two women (aged 59 and 76 years) whose course was marked by rapidly progressing signs of dementia,

Since the disease is transmissible, precautions must be taken if the disease is suspected: wearing of disposable gloves, disinfection of instruments by one-hour autoclaving at 121 degrees C, disinfection of potentially contaminated surfaces with 5% sodium
hypochlorite
, and avoidance of skin cuts or punctures by instruments or syringes.
