Abstract
Total tau protein (t-tau) in CSF is now considered as a diagnostic biochemical marker of CJD. Especially, analysis of t-tau protein level in CSF is semi-quantitative, compared to western blot analysis of 14-3-3 protein in CSF. Also, MRI is diagnostic procedure of CJD. Diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) is more diagnostic in early phase of CJD.
We report here the comparative analysis of t-tau protein and MR images, which have been serially performed in the clinical course of sporadic CJD patients.
