New Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease:Neurological Features and Diagnostic Tests
Lancet 350:903-907, Zeidler,M.,et al, 1997
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Clinical features in these cases are similar and relatively distinct from other forms of CJD,suggesting that this is a new clinical phenotype consistent with a single strain of infectious agent.There is,however,some overlap with atypical cases of sporadic CJD,and the diagnosis of nvCJD remains dependent on neuropathological confirmation.
