A Case Report of Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML) in an Immunocompetent Patient. [PDF]
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a rare but fatal demyelinating disorder resulting from reactivation of latent John Cunningham virus (JCV), which induces demyelinating lytic infection of oligodendrocytes. We report a case of PML in an individual without identifiable immunodeficiency who presented with insidious and progressive ...
