Voltage-Gated Potassium Channel Autoimmunity Mimicking Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease
Arch Neurol 65:1341-1346, Geschwind,M.D.,et al, 2008
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Clinical, radiologic, electrophysiologic, and laboratory findings in VGKC autoantibody-associated encephalopathy may be confused with those of CJD. Serologic evaluation for markers of neurologic autoimmunity, including VGKC autoantibodies, may be warranted in suspected CJD cases.
