THE NATIONAL CJD RESEARCH & SURVEILLANCE UNIT (NCJDRSU) CJD (Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease) is a rare illness and is one of a group of diseases called prion diseases, which affect humans and animals. Prion diseases exist in different forms, all of which are progressive, currently untreatable and ultimately fatal.
