  • Title: ["Slow virus" infections and degenerative diseases of the central nervous system].
    Author: Warecka K.
    Journal: Psychiatr Neurol Med Psychol (Leipz); 1978 Dec; 30(12):705-14. PubMed ID: 368845.
    Abstract:
    Slow virus infections of the central nervous system are produced by both conventional and unconventional viruses. Diseases of the central nervous system which are produced by unconventional viruses are discussed. They are kuru and the Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease. Mention is also made of the fact that these disease may be transmitted to animals which allows an infectious genesis to be assumed. The author also discusses the clinical symptomatology, the results of anatomical and pathological examinations, and the mechanism of transmission of the disease from one human being to another. Slow virus infection as a cause of other neurological diseases is also dealt with by the author in her present paper.
