title: [Presenile dementia (Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease). Clinical and experimental data on a newly reported case].
abstract: A newly recorded case of presenile dementia (Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease) is discussed. The disease is experimentally transmissible to guinea pigs, after a long incubation period. From a pathomorphological point of view the experimental disease in the guinea pig is characterized by spongiosis, proliferative glial reaction, disappearance of neurons and of Purkinje's cells.
