Hello-

We're currently evaluating a redesign of our neuropathology laboratory and
one of the issues that has come up is the handling of Creutzfeldt-Jakob
disease (CJD) cases.  I'd really appreciate any input regarding how other
labs handle these cases (related to the physical laboratory facility).  I'm
specifically interested in where & how techs are processing  & cutting the
cases.  Confined spaces, containment chambers, separate room with or w/out
ante rooms, within the routine lab?  

Any references, sources, or contacts would also be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your help.
