We investigated transmission characteristics of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in a mother and son from Spain. Despite differences in patient age and disease manifestations, we found the same strain properties in these patients as in UK vCJD cases. A single strain of agent appears to be responsible for all vCJD cases to date.
我们研究了西班牙一对母子的变异型克雅氏病的传播特征。尽管患者年龄和疾病表现存在差异,但我们发现这些患者的毒株特性与英国变异型克雅氏病病例相同。单一毒株似乎是迄今为止所有变异型克雅氏病病例的病因。
