What is CJD and vCJD: Prion Disease Overview about?

Creutzfeldt–Jakob Disease (CJD) and Variant Creutzfeldt–Jakob Disease (vCJD) are rare, fatal prion diseases characterized by rapid neurological degeneration without CNS inflammation. CJD typically affects older individuals, while vCJD, linked to mad cow disease, primarily affects younger people and presents with early psychiatric symptoms. Both diseases have no effective treatment, and management focuses on supportive care and prevention of transmission.
