Abstract

Almost two decades have passed since the discovery of the first human slow infection, kuru.1 Several additional slow infections of humans have been discovered in recent years, but all of these diseases are rather rare. Despite an intensive effort, it has not been possible to show that a common degenerative disorder possesses a slow infectious etiology. Either slow infections are indeed rare and not the cause of such disorders, or our present techniques are inadequate to detect most slow infectious agents.
