Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a serious, rare and fatal viral disease involving inflammation of the white matter of the brain. PML is caused by the JC virus (JCV). This virus is found in a lot of people, but usually does not cause symptoms. However, it triggers PML ...
FDA is warning that a patient with multiple sclerosis (MS) who was being treated with Tecfidera (dimethyl fumarate), developed progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a rare and serious brain infection, and later died. As a result, information describing this case of PML is being added...
PML was rare but HIV infection and Natalizumab have made it much more common while the prognosis is much better than other PML. PML patients present with various signs and symptoms including hemiparesis, dementia, aphasia, visual disturbance, cranial nerve paresis, cerebellar signs and bladder ...
The infection was clinically mild, although her CRP peaked at 50 mg/L, and she recovered within less than a week without supportive treatment. After this, a significant clinical improvement was observed. About 14 weeks after the symptoms started, a stereotactic brain biopsy from the left ...

A 78-year-old man with multiple sclerosis (MS) developed the brain infection progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) after two years of treatment with Ocrevus (ocrelizumab), a recent case report detailed. Treatment was discontinued and, as the patient’s symptoms worsened, he was moved to...
[124]. A similar scenario is also recapitulated by the viral IE1 protein during Cytomegalovirus infection [125,126]. One major function of PML against viral infection is to sequester viral core components required for viral replication. For example, PML IV has been shown to interact with 3D ...
As most MSer are aware, PML is a brain infection that most often occurs in patients experiencing severe immunosuppression, such as those suffering from HIV/AIDS. In the context of MS, the infection is most closely linked to the drug Tysabri, whose mechanism of action often reduces immune syste...
The patient presented with rapidly progressive neurologic symptoms that started two weeks after ibrutinib was started. An MRI of the brain was concerningfor PML, but multiple CSF samples tested negative using a polymerase chain reaction for the JC virus. Finally, a brain biopsy clinched the ...
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a severe opportunistic brain disease caused by lytic JC polyomavirus (JCPyV) replication in oligodendrocytes. Although JCPyV infection is common in the general population, PML almost exclusively occurs in patients immunocompromised due to untreated HIV/...
