Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, or CJD, is an uncommon brain illness that causes dementia. It is classified as a prion disorder, which affects both humans and animals. Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease symptoms may resemble those of Alzheimer's disease. However, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease normally progresses faster and results in death. The sickness gained widespread notice in the 1990s, when some people in the United Kingdom became ill with a variant of the disease. They developed variant CJ, often known as vCJD, after consuming meat from sick cattle. However, most incidences of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease have not been connected to beef consumption. All kinds of CJD are dangerous, but they are extremely rare. Every year, approximately one to two cases of CJD are detected per million people worldwide. The condition primarily affects older people.

Leprosy

Leprosy, commonly known as Hansen's disease, is a chronic condition caused by the microorganisms Mycobacterium leprae or Mycobacterium lepromatosis. Infection can harm the nervous system, respiratory tract, skin, and eyes. This may result in a loss of pain sensation, which can lead to the amputation of parts of a person's extremities because of recurrent traumas or infection from untreated wounds. Infected individuals may also develop muscle weakness and poor vision. Leprosy symptoms can appear within a year, but for certain people, it may take 20 years or more. Leprosy is not very contagious, and multidrug therapy heals the condition. People with leprosy can live with their family, attend school, and work. In the 1980s, there were 5.2 million instances worldwide, but by 2020, this had dropped to less than 200,000. Most new cases occur in 14 nations, with India accounting for more than half.
