Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy in a patient with idiopathic CD4+T lymphocytopenia

Abstract

Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is demyelinating of central nervous system caused by JC virus infection and often occurs in immunodeficient individuals. We report progressive PML in a 30-year-old male with idiopathic severely depressed CD4+T lymphocyte count. He was sero-negative for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
