Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a severe brain disease. Diffusion tensor imaging offers early, specific insights into PML extent and status in a pediatric HIV case.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroimaging
  • Neurology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a rare, fatal demyelinating disease of the central nervous system.
  • PML is caused by the JC papovavirus and has a poor prognosis, with a 90% mortality rate within one year.

Observation:

  • This case report details a 15-year-old girl with congenital human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
  • The patient presented with symptoms indicative of PML.

Findings:

  • Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) provided early and specific information regarding the disease status.
  • DTI demonstrated the extent of demyelination and neurological involvement in the patient.

Implications:

  • Diffusion tensor imaging is a valuable tool for the early diagnosis and monitoring of PML.
