The UK Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Surveillance Unit
The
incidence of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is monitored in the UK
by the CJD surveillance unit based at the Western General Hospital
in Edinburgh, Scotland. The unit brings together a team of clinical
neurologists, neuropathologists and scientists specialising in the
investigation of this disease. This document is intended to
summarise the research in progress at the CJD unit and also provide
some background information about CJD and other human spongiform
encephalopathies. We have also provided some links to other
resources and contrary points of view available on the Web.
