vCJD risk assessment calculations for a patient with multiple routes of exposure (9th June 2009)
This paper was developed in response to a request from the CJD Incidents Panel following the finding of abnormal prion protein in the spleen of a patient with haemophilia. Assuming that the abnormal protein represents a marker of vCJD infection, the paper sets the various possible routes through which such infection could have occurred, and considers their relative likelihood in various scenarios.
