Talk:Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease

message: No cases of health care associated transmission of CJD have been reported subsequent to the adoption of current sterilization procedures, or since 1976.[30][31][32]
Deleted the above.  It's contradicted by multiple cites further down in the page.
   Blood products
   As of 2018, evidence suggests that while there may be prions in the blood of individuals with vCJD, this is not the case in individuals with sporadic CJD.[4]
Deleted the above.  Even if the cite proves the negative -- it's from 2003, and can't prove a negative a decade and a half into the future.
Came here to see if the exposure of 8 patients of Tulane University Medical Center (Louisiana, USA) had resulted in any contracting the disease.  https://www.nola.com/entertainment_life/health_fitness/article_193aa854-6f3f-5db2-88b6-d0abbbc5892c.html  Found that reference, but I believe the article is misdated.
I know not everyone has English as a first (or second, or third) language, but the language is a mess -- the terminology for the subject of the page itself isn't consistent.  IE iatrogenic CKD -- I believe that would be vCKD; iatrogenic is how the disease was acquired, not what it is.

thread_title:  It's a mess. 

message: From the introduction: 
   There is no evidence that it can spread between people via normal contact or blood transfusions.[2] 
From the Transmission section:
   The defective protein can be transmitted by contaminated harvested human brain products, as well as blood transfusions.[16]
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't these two directly contradictory? Can it be spread via blood transfusions or not? This would appear to be a pretty important point to get right.

thread_title:  Direct contradiction? 

message: Image shows cells with vCJD ("Biopsy of the tonsil in variant CJD."), but the body of the article is pretty clear that this is a different thing ("Not to be confused with variant Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease." and "CJD is different from bovine spongiform encephalopathy (mad cow disease) and variant Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (vCJD).") Can the image be replaced or removed to avoid confusion?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bakerccm (talk • contribs) 15:17, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
