Desafíos en el diagnóstico de enfermedad de Creutzfeldt-Jakob: Caso clínico
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease has a higher incidence in Chile than in other countries. The post mortem pathological characterization of brain tissue is necessary to reach a definitive diagnosis. We report a 73 years old man with a history compatible with of a rapidly progressive dementia, in which the f...
