Ans:
A

Feedback:

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is collectively called transmissible neurodegenerative disease that is characterized by a slowly progressive, noninflammatory neuronal degeneration and leads to a loss of coordination, dementia, and death. With this disease, encephalopathy is the primary presenting factor. GI problems, muscle inflammation, and ICP are not clinical manifestations associated with this prion.
