Infectious Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is associated with exposure to tissues of an affected person or dietary exposure to bovine spongiform encephalopathy.
Is it true that infectious Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is associated with exposure to tissues of an affected person or dietary exposure to bovine spongiform encephalopathy?
Yes. Infectious Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is well-documented to occur through iatrogenic transmission involving contaminated tissues or medical instruments, as well as variant forms linked to dietary exposure from bovine spongiform encephalopathy.
Verdict: SUPPORTED · 3 sources for, 0 against · Last checked
The retrieved literature confirms that CJD encompasses iatrogenic and variant forms involving exposure to infected tissues or dietary transmission (such as variant CJD linked to BSE).
