PT journal article
AB We report three patients with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, whose first symptom was severe pruritus, similar to that observed in scrapie. The pruritus was resistant to therapy. The underlying mechanisms are unclear, but we speculate that the pruritus may result from brainstem involvement.
IN Bei 3 Creutzfeldt-Jakob-Patienten war ein starker, therapieresistenter Juckreiz das erste Symptom.
