Description:

Protecting Against Deadly Brain Diseases

CDC’s Prion and Public Health Office (PPHO) tracks, investigates, and assists with diagnosis of prion diseases — a family of rare, always fatal neurologic diseases. Prion diseases occur when proteins normally found in the brain misfold, causing damage to the brain. These diseases can occur naturally in some people for unknown reasons (sporadic) or run in families (familial). In rare cases they may also be acquired through specific types of exposure to prion proteins. Most people die within a year from the time symptoms begin.
