A 79 years old Caucasian woman first presented to a medical visit complaining of vertigo (dizziness) which started a month and a half prior. She first went to an ear, nose and throat specialist who found nothing. Her symptoms became progressively worse along with bilateral visual impairment, child-like behavior and walking issues. She had a history of hypertension, arrhythmia and a L knee replacement. Her physician performed an EEG which was strikingly abnormal. She was discharged without a clear diagnosis. 12 days later she was re-admitted with significant worsening of symptoms that included not being able to walk, a worsening dementia and an inability to speak or swallow appropriately. Cerebrospinal fluid was normal. As her hospital stay evolves she lapsed into coma and tonic clonic seizures. She had several pulmonary and urinary infections and died after 45 days of respiratory insufficiency. A rare, yet deadly neurological disease was to blame that caused a slow degeneration of the central nervous system causing gradually deteriorating dementia. This condition is caused by a small proteinaceous particle and often, because of its slow progression is called a "slow virus". What was her cause of death?
