Transmisión iatrogénica de priones

FRAGMENTO:
Iatrogenic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) is simply CJD (most likely sporadic CJD) that is transmitted from one person to another by medical or surgical treatment (table 2) [20]. It is important to note that all forms of prion disease are potentially transmissible, even, remarkably, autosomal dominantly inherited genetic diseases. In addition, there are increasing concerns that variant CJD will lead to significant secondary transmission, with 2 reported cases of probable blood transmission [21, 22].
