Terry S. Singeltary, retired (medically) CJD WATCH

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?

Diagnosis and Reporting of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease

Singeltary, Sr et al. JAMA.2001; 285: 733-734. Vol. 285 No. 6, February 14, 2001 JAMA

Diagnosis and Reporting of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease

To the Editor: In their Research Letter, Dr Gibbons and colleagues1 reported that the annual US death rate due to Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) has been stable since 1985. These estimates, however, are based only on reported cases, and do not include misdiagnosed or preclinical cases. It seems to me that misdiagnosis alone would drastically change these figures. An unknown number of persons with a diagnosis of Alzheimer disease in fact may have CJD, although only a small number of these patients receive the postmortem examination necessary to make this diagnosis. Furthermore, only a few states have made CJD reportable. Human and animal transmissible spongiform encephalopathies should be reportable nationwide and internationally.

Maine Firm Recalls Ribeye and Carcass Products That May Contain Specified Risk Materials

Class II Recall

Health Risk: Low

August 29, 2014

MAINE, August 29, 2014 – Bubier Meats, an establishment in Greene, Maine is recalling approximately 25,192 pounds of fresh beef products because the dorsal root ganglia may not have been completely removed, which is not compliant with federal regulations that require their removal in cattle 30 months of age and older, the Maine Meat and Poultry Inspection (MMPI) program announced today.

The products subject to recall include:

• Quartered beef carcasses that were stamped with the Maine mark of inspection and establishment number "EST. 4." with the following ship dates: 11/13/13, 11/26/13, 1/2/14, 1/21/14, 2/5/14, 2/19/14, 3/5/14, 3/19/14, 4/2/14, 4/30/14, 5/12/14, 5/28/14, 6/11/14, 6/25/14, 7/9/14, 7/23/14, 8/6/14, 8/20/14.

Bubier Meats advises that the quartered carcasses were distributed to Maine retail stores, Rosemont Market locations in Portland and Yarmouth, and Maine Meat in Kittery Maine, on various dates between November, 2013 and August, 2014. All products would have been processed into smaller cuts with no identifying consumer packaging. Such smaller cuts may include bone-in ribeye roasts, prime rib roasts, T-bone steaks, porterhouse steaks, wing steaks, bone-in ribeye steaks, bone-in sirloin steaks and neck bones.

The problem was discovered by MMPI during a review of company slaughter logs. Dorsal root ganglia, branches of the nervous system located in the vertebral column are considered specified risk materials (SRMs) and must be removed from cattle 30 months of age and older in accordance with federal regulations. SRMs are tissues that may contain the infective agent in cattle infected with Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), as well as materials that are closely associated with these potentially infective tissues. Although BSE is extremely rare (only 4 US cows have been identified to date) it remains a human health concern. Therefore, federal regulations prohibit SRMs from use as human food to minimize potential human exposure to the BSE agent.

Every animal received ante-mortem inspection by MMPI inspection personnel, who observed each animal at rest and in motion. All animals appeared healthy with no indication that any of the cattle slaughtered displayed any signs of BSE.

MMPI and Bubier Meats have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.

MMPI routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers.

Consumers and media with questions about the recall should contact establishment manager Tobie Bubier at 207-946-5015.

So they verified the source of your mothers cvjd? Or are you just guessing still.
If they did verify, how did they do so? Cultures?
I'm assuming there are her brain tissue samples stored somewhere for comparison?
 
>>>the patient had resided in Kuwait, Russia and Lebanon.

>>>The completed investigation did not support the patient's having had extended travel to European countries, including the United Kingdom, or travel to Saudi Arabia.

NOW we all know why the state of Texas or the CDC did not want to report this case, because it was a home grown case of nvCJD right here in Texas...tss
