During the 15-year period 1968-1982, 328 French residents died of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD); 273 had been born in France (annual mortality rate of 0.38 per million inhabitants). Of the 55 foreign-born cases, 12 came from Tunisia and 11 from Algeria (mortality rates of 4.53 and 0.95 per million). Nearly all of the Tunisians were Jews, and six belonged to two families. These findings complement earlier observations on Libyan-born Israelis, but still do not discriminate between genetic or environmental causal factors, which will require epidemiologic investigation of CJD in North Africa.
在1968年至1982年的15年期间，328名法国居民死于克雅氏病（CJD）；其中273人出生在法国（年死亡率为每百万居民0.38人）。在55例出生于国外的病例中，12例来自突尼斯，11例来自阿尔及利亚（死亡率分别为每百万4.53人和0.95人）。几乎所有突尼斯人都是犹太人，其中6人来自两个家庭。这些发现补充了早期对出生于利比亚的以色列人的观察结果，但仍无法区分遗传或环境致病因素，这需要对北非的克雅氏病进行流行病学调查。
