TY - JOUR AU - Kim, Yong-Chan AU - Jeong, Byung-Hoon T1 - Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Incidence, South Korea, 2001–2019 T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2022 VL - 28 IS - 9 SP - 1863 SN - 1080-6059 AB - We found increasing trends of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) cases and annual incidence in South Korea during 2001–2019. We noted relatively low (5.7%) distribution of familial CJD. An unusually high percentage (≈1%) of patients were in the 30–39 age group, which should prompt a preemptive CJD control system.
