Overview
Early signs of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease are highly variable, due to which it is often misdiagnosed or diagnosis is delayed. It should be differentiated from other causes of rapidly progressive dementia such as other neurodegenerative diseases, infections and dementia due to metabolic or toxic etiology.[1]
