Abstract

To our knowledge, this is the first case report describing progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) associated with X-linked agammaglobulinemia. The JC virus was confirmed at autopsy and PML was diagnosed. Humoral immunodeficiency with normal cellular immunity could be infected with JCV.
