None, palliative care only. Amphotericin and amantadine which delay laboratory prion diseases are not beneficial clinically. This is generally thought to be an underestimate. The full spectrum of diseases not necessarily recognised. 1. Filterable size of infectious unit consistent with a virus like agent.
Physical properties are unlike any other known biological agent.
Extraordinarily stable to dry heat. Suggest either a very small or no genome. Sensitive to protein modification agents. Purifying infectivity gives PrpSc protein which is a host encoded product. If such a virus exists its properties are very unusual.
