> A 1989 study at the University of Pittsburgh autopsied
the brains of 54 patients who had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and
discovered that three of the patients (5.5 percent of the sample)
actually had CJD. A 1989 study at Yale University reported similar

diagnosed with Alzheimer's revealed that six (13 percent of the
sample) actually had CJD.
