متن کاملBrain Biopsy Is More Reliable than the DNA test for JC Virus in Cerebrospinal Fluid for the Diagnosis of Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy
The current standard diagnostic approach for progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is to perform a DNA test to identify the presence of the JC virus in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). A 32-year-old woman with a 5-year history of systemic lupus erythematosus developed right hemiplegia and motor aphasia. MRI revealed a large white matter lesion in the left frontal lobe. JC virus DNA was und...
