Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) can rarely occur in individuals with occult immunosuppression. Here, we describe the case of an adult man who presented with PML, in whom CD4+ lymphocytopenia and hypogammaglobulinemia were subsequently identified, leading to a diagnosis of late-onset combined immunodeficiency. Intravenous immunoglobulin replacement therapy was initiated. His clinical course, though complicated by immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome, was favorable.
