- This is amazing. Here is a list of States where CJD
is reportable/not reportable. How do we get accurate numbers of cases
when 28 States, including large states like California, are not obligated
to report the diagnosis? I am amazed. I thought that it was reportable
for all States.
-
- It is not reportable in Oregon or even District of Columbia.
-
- If time permits, I would like to go over this list.
The fact that 28 states are not required to report the diagnosis, makes
a big difference in CJD stats and numbers of US cases. The families of
victims, understandably, would not want the doctor to publicize the diagnosis
of CJD and many cases in these 28 states go unreported. This totally skews
the stats. We therefore have a probable loss in the 28 states, as well
as many cases misdiagnosed as Alzheimer Disease. My guess is that CJD
is not the rare disease the CDC would have us believe it is.
