Elderly man treated for possible vCJD symptoms
With news breaking that an elderly male patient was being treated in Donegal’s Falcarragh Nursing Home for CJD-like symptoms, the plight of another 24-year-old sufferer was raised in the Dáil yesterday.
The young man, who is seriously ill in a Dublin hospital with only months to live, was the first Irish person to be diagnosed with vCJD last November.
