It's super rare, only like 80 families world wide have a history of it, there is also a spontaneous version of it too. It's, as the name says, fatal. I think life expectancy after symptoms first appear is 18 months or so.

Cross-referencing the discussion about Scott and the Bite: one would think that if Stiles had a potentially fatal medical condition that Melissa would be telling him to peel himself off of Dean Winchester's fanasty girl for a few minutes to take a chomp out of Stiles to save his life. Seeing as how becoming a werewolf cures most ailments.
