CJD on increase as human death toll passes 100

 

By David Derbyshire, Science Correspondent

 

THE death toll for the human form of mad cow disease has reached 100 and shows

no signs of slowing down, scientists said yesterday.

 

The landmark figure was revealed as Government advisers warned that elderly

patients with variant CJD - the disease linked to eating BSE-infected beef -

could be dying undiagnosed and that the true scale of the epidemic could be far

worse.
