Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease

Creutzfeldt-Jakob (KROITS-felt YAH-kobe) disease is a degenerative brain disorder that results in dementia and, eventually, death. Symptoms of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) can look like those of other dementia-like brain conditions, such as Alzheimer’s. However Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease normally progresses a lot more quickly.
