Prion pruritus

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellnesspedia

Prion pruritus is the intense itching during the prodromal period of the Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease.[1]

Response to therapy[edit | edit source]

  • Unfortunately, the pruritus was resistant to therapy.
  • The underlying mechanisms are unclear, but we speculate that the pruritus may result from brainstem involvement.
