There's been speculation that many of the people who were diagnosed with
Alzheimer's in the US may have actually had CJD. I thought I read something
about the brains of people who had died from Alzheimer's being studied and
the ones doing it finding out they had died of CJD, but I can't remember
where the article is now.
