Abstract
A 54-year-old nun was referred to a respiratory specialist for cough,
which was subsequently found to be the prodrome of Creutzfeldt-Jakob d
isease. It is tempting for any specialist to assume whoever enters his
office has the disease of his specialty. Potential pitfalls in that s
ort of diagnostic judgment are displayed in this report.
