The degenerative neurological disorder set in shortly after Vinson had her surgery, first taking away her motor skills then robbing her of memories. Now three months later Vinson lies unconscious in a hospital bed.

Woman who may have had rare brain disease dies in Portsmouth

PORTSMOUTH
A 22-year-old woman who may have had a rare degenerative brain disorder that
has been linked to eating beef from cattle infected with mad cow disease has
died.
A nursing supervisor said the woman, who had been unconscious at Bon Secours
Maryview Medical Center, passed away about 5:30 p.m. Wednesday.
The state health department said earlier this week that it was investigating
the case, looking to see if the woman had any of a range of neurological
disorders.
One possibility is a variant of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, known as vCJD, a
rare degenerative brain disorder that has been linked to consumption of
contaminated beef. The disease is not spread through casual contact from
person to person.
There are also other forms of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, known as CJD, that
are unrelated to beef consumption. State officials are looking into those as
well.

Frequently asked questions on variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease and
Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease
What is variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease?
Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (vCJD) is a rare and fatal human
neurodegenerative disease distinct from Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease. Although
the two diseases similarly destroy the brain, the disorders are different.
Variant CJD is linked to the consumption of beef products from cattle with
bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), a disease caused by abnormal prion
proteins and sometimes referred to as "mad cow disease." Since the disease
was first described in 1996, at least 200 patients with this disease have
been identified. Most cases have occurred in the United Kingdom.
How does variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease differ from Creutzfeldt-Jakob
Disease?
Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) is also a rare, fatal neurodegenerative
disease but is distinct from vCJD. This disease typically occurs among older
people, is rapidly progressive with infection leading to death usually
within a year of the onset of illness, while vCJD is less rapid and often
strikes younger adults. CJD is not related to beef consumption.
About 85 percent of CJD cases occur for unknown reasons while about 5-15
percent of patients develop CJD because of inherited genetic mutations. CJD
strikes about one in one million people, or about 200 people a year
nationwide.
Both CJD and vCJD are prion diseases, a group of rare, invariably fatal
brain disorders which occur both in humans and certain animals. Diagnosis of
either disease is very difficult and often happens through a process of
elimination of other disorders.
Are there other things that can cause similar symptoms?
Degenerative diseases of the brain are characterized by changes in brain
function and structure and can vary in severity. There is a wide variety of
causes of these symptoms including infections from bacteria or viruses; lack
of oxygen to the brain; liver or kidney failure; toxic exposures to
substances such as solvents, paints or industrial chemicals; and poor
nutrition.
Is there any treatment for vCJD or CJD?
There is no known treatment for either disease.
How are the diseases diagnosed?
Confirmation of a diagnosis of vCJD or CJD generally is by brain biopsy or
autopsy and the analysis takes weeks to complete. Tests that can help
develop a diagnosis include an electroencephalogram (EEG) to see if the
brain's electrical pattern shows specific abnormalities. Magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) scans also can reveal characteristic patterns of brain
degeneration. Cerebrospinal fluid can be examined for proteins related to
neurodegenerative diseases. A biopsy of the tonsils is also sometimes
helpful in establishing a diagnosis.
Have there been cases of vCJD in the United States?
As of April 9, 2008, three cases of vCJD have been reported from the United
States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there
is strong evidence suggesting that two of the three cases were exposed to
the BSE agent in the United Kingdom and that the third was exposed while
living in Saudi Arabia.
Is our food safe?
Since 1989, the Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. Department of
Agriculture have worked to reduce the risk of consumer exposure to any
BSE-contaminated material. Both agencies have issued rules to prevent the
use of mammalian protein in the manufacture of ruminant feed. There is no
current test available to identify BSE in beef. There is no evidence to
suggest that milk and dairy products can transmit the infection. Cooking and
irradiation have not been shown to kill the BSE agent.

I lost my mother to hvCJD (Heidenhain Variant CJD). I would like to
comment on the CDC's attempts to monitor the occurrence of emerging
forms of CJD. Asante, Collinge et al [1] have reported that BSE
transmission to the 129-methionine genotype can lead to an alternate
phenotype that is indistinguishable from type 2 PrPSc, the commonest
sporadic CJD. However, CJD and all human TSEs are not reportable
nationally. CJD and all human TSEs must be made reportable in every
state and internationally. I hope that the CDC does not continue to
expect us to still believe that the 85%+ of all CJD cases which are
sporadic are all spontaneous, without route/source. We have many TSEs in
the USA in both animal and man. CWD in deer/elk is spreading rapidly and
CWD does transmit to mink, ferret, cattle, and squirrel monkey by
intracerebral inoculation. With the known incubation periods in other
TSEs, oral transmission studies of CWD may take much longer. Every
victim/family of CJD/TSEs should be asked about route and source of this
agent. To prolong this will only spread the agent and needlessly expose
others. In light of the findings of Asante and Collinge et al, there
should be drastic measures to safeguard the medical and surgical arena
from sporadic CJDs and all human TSEs. I only ponder how many sporadic
CJDs in the USA are type 2 PrPSc?
