Treatable Neurological Disorders Misdiagnosed as Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Ann Neurol 70:437-444, Chitravas, N.,et al, 2011 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract In patients with RPD, treatable disorders should be considered and excluded before diagnosing CJD. Misdiagnosed patients often did not fulfill World Health Organization criteria. RPD with positive 14-3-3 cerebrospinal fluid protein should not be regarded as sufficient for the diagnosis of CJD. Adherence to revised criteria for CJD, which include distinctive magnetic resonance imaging features of prion disease, is likely to improve diagnostic accuracy.
