	Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), also known as progressive multifocal leukoencephalitis, is a rare and usually fatal viral disease that is characterized by progressive damage (-pathy) or inflammation (-itis) of the white matter (leuko-) of the brain (-encephalo-) at multiple locations (multifocal).
		The cause of PML is a type of polyomavirus called the JC virus (JCV), after the initials of the patient in whom it was first discovered.

	Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy
		The detection and semiquantitation of JC virus (JCV) DNA in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is prognostic of survival and is a marker of the course of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML).
		PML was the presenting manifestation of AIDS in 5 (71.4%) of 7 long-term survivors compared with 8 (17.8%) of 45 short-term survivors.
		Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a frequently fatal demyelinating disease caused by JC virus, occurs as an opportunistic infection in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

	SF AIDS Fdn: BETA 9/97 -- Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy
		PML is rarely found in early HIV disease; when it does occur, it is almost always found in people with late-stage HIV disease.
		PML is progressive in that there is continuous expansion of brain lesions caused by the JC virus.
		PML lesions typically begin at the junction between the grey matter and the underlying white matter of the brain.

		Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a rapidly progressive neuromuscular disease caused by opportunistic infection of brain cells (oligodendrocytes and astrocytes) by the JC virus (JCV).
		PML is an opportunistic infection associated with AIDS and certain cancers.
		In PML, the JCV infects and kills the cells (oligodendrocytes) that produce myelin, which is needed to form the sheath that surrounds and protects nerves.

	Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy Information Page: National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke ...
		Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is an infrequent disorder of the nervous system that primarily affects individuals with suppressed immune systems (including, allograft recipients such as kidney transplant patients; patients with cancers such as leukemia or lymphoma; and nearly 10% of patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome — AIDS.
		The disorder, which is caused by a common human polyomavirus, JC virus, is characterized by demyelination or destruction of the myelin sheath that covers nerve cells.
		Symptoms of PML include mental deterioration, vision loss, speech disturbances, ataxia (inability to coordinate movements), paralysis, and, ultimately, coma reflecting the multifocal distribution of brain lesions.

	[Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy]
		Progressive multifocal leucoencephalopathy (PML) is a rarely occurring demyelinating disease of the central nervous system caused by a neurotropic papovavirus named JC virus (JCV).
		The course of the disease is still most often rapidly progressive and fatal, but several cases with prolonged survival and even remission have been reported, and various antiviral treatments have been tried.
		Suspicion of PML should lead to an extensive immunological investigation before considering of brain biopsy, which is still the only specific test.

		Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a subacute demyelinating disease caused by an opportunistic papovavirus, usually the Jamestown Canyon strain.
		PML is characterized by the presence of multiple (in part confluent) areas of CNS demyelination, primarily in subcortical white matter.
		As the disease progresses, the demyelinated plaques coalesce to form large lesions.
