Disease-modifying therapies and progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy in multiple sclerosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Shitiz Sriwastava et al.

Summary: Younger age and lower JCV viral load at the time of PML diagnosis were associated with better outcomes in MS-associated PML, while no specific PML therapy was found to be superior or associated with favorable outcomes.

Clinical Presentation and Disease Course of 37 Consecutive Cases of Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML) at a German Tertiary-Care Hospital: A Retrospective Observational Study

Lisa M. Graf et al.

Summary: This study conducted at a German tertiary-care hospital focused on patients with PML, revealing that HIV-1 was the leading cause of PML and most patients had underlying immunosuppressive disorders. Treatment attempts to improve outcomes were reported in 35% of patients, with a 24-month survival rate of 56%.

Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy: MRI findings in HIV-infected patients are closer to rituximab- than natalizumab-associated PML

Manel Alleg et al.

Summary: The study compared brain MRI findings in PML associated with rituximab, natalizumab treatments, and HIV infection. Different imaging features were observed in the three types of PML, with natalizumab-associated PML showing more inflammatory signs and cortex involvement, while rituximab and HIV-associated PML exhibited milder contrast enhancement and punctuate appearance. The differences in MRI findings may be related to varying levels of immunosuppression in the different patient groups.
