The worst is yet to come: probable sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in a well-controlled HIV patient

We describe a case of probable sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in the setting of well-controlled HIV and discuss whether exist, in fact, HIV-related factors that may predispose to the development of prion disease. To the best of our knowledge, this is the third report of this association.
