Typically considered a sporadic condition of late adult life or an inherited condition resulting from faulty genes, Alzheimer’s disease has long remained a complex puzzle for researchers. However, this new study brings to the forefront a unique scenario, where the disease was seemingly transmitted through medical treatment.
