06/01/2011 -A WOMAN OF 44 YEARS Livorno, dead from Mad Cow Disease. This is the second case in Italy
Livorno. The case was diagnosed in October 2009
Nine years after the disease
back to kill: Coldiretti
"No warning to the flesh"
LIVORNO
First symptoms are similar to those of a sore throat in mid-2008, then anxiety and apathy. Finally the first admission in the summer of 2009 and diagnosed a few months later, Besta Institute in Milan. It lasted two years, the agony of a 44 year old woman suffering from Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, the variant known as mad cow disease, died this morning at the hospital in Livorno.
This is the second such case in Italy. The first had involved a woman of Memphis (Agrigento) in 2002. The 44 year old Livorno, which leaves the partner and a younger son, was admitted to the hospice palliative care since July 16 when his condition had worsened so much that since then she had not regained consciousness. The discovery of the death occurred around 11 am after a respiratory crisis, the latest in a series of complications that occurred last month.
To give the final certainty about the diagnosis will be an autopsy performed at Pisa dall'anatomopatologo Raffaele Pingitore. The review will then be carried out in Bologna neuroistopatologico by Professor Peter Parks (the outcome of a month). "I'm testing - says Natalia Lombardi (Directorate Hospital Livorno) - needed to provide further certainty. But this case has already been classified as a variant of mad cow disease since the beginning of 2010, the patient underwent a biopsy. "
At the latest tomorrow, then, the body will be returned to the family for the funeral. The intention would be to perform the cremation and scatter the ashes at sea. "We express our closeness to the pain of the relatives - says Dr. Elena D'Imporzano, which followed the 44 year old over the past 5 months - have asked for confidentiality, but what you can tell is their dedication, not They never left alone, not even a minute. "
ASL is reaffirmed that there is no risk of contamination, even for relatives, because, as explained by Dr. Maurizio Mirabelli (Department Prevention Asl 6), the disease "is transmitted only through infected meat intake." As the Leghorn has contracted the disease is impossible to tell "because - continues Mirabelli - incubation lasts 10-15 years: You may have also been infected in the mid nineties, when there were no rules preventing then introduced in countries where the disease was more widespread, ie England, Belgium and France. "
Also in Livorno in 2010, as reported by the chief of neurology Giuseppe Meucci, the National Institute of Health has recorded a case of Creutzfeld-Jacob "classic" and not the variant linked to mad cow disease.
