چکیده
We report the mortality from sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in Cyprus for a 10-year surveillance period (1995-2004). In that time, 5 cases were identified out of a population of 749,000, giving an incidence of 0.7 cases per million population per year. Our sporadic incidence matches that expected according to global epidemiological surveillance. No cases of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease were found but 1 familial case was diagnosed.
