Can teenagers develop the sporadic variant of cjd?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Conceivable: If consumed tainted meat, such as MAD COW, or uncooked product containing prion particles could be possible. A transplant of kidney or liver from an infected host could theoretically cause it. But otherwise, cannot really find this to be a probable outcome.
