Summary
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a rare, fatal CNS disease. Early diagnosis of PML within a year after lung transplant is crucial.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Infectious Diseases
- Transplant Medicine
Background:
- Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a rare and fatal demyelinating disease affecting the central nervous system (CNS).
- PML is caused by the JC virus, often reactivating in immunocompromised individuals.
- Lung transplant recipients are a vulnerable population for opportunistic infections like PML.
