Abstract
Prion diseases pose a challenge for flexible reusable endoscopes. Especially for the new variant of Creutzfeld Jakob disease (vCJD) there is currently no suitable processing procedure. In these patients only disposable endoscopes are hygienically safe. The case report shows a PEG placement in a 42-year-old patient with suspected vCJD using a disposable bronchoscope.
