Detailed notes
    - Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is an infectious demyelinating disease of the central nervous system caused by the JC virus, a DNA polyomavirus. PML occurs during reactivation of the latent JC virus after long-standing immunosuppression. It is usually associated with conditions causing profound immunodeficiency, classically seen in patients with AIDS. Second commonly it has been reported in lymphoproliferative disorders like chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Here we report a case of 72 years old female patient with CLL who developed PML. Her clinical symptoms were rapid progressive slight hemiparesis of the right side and aphasia. In cranial magnetic resonance imaging, a typical subcortical demyelinating nonenhancing lesions was shown, and JC virus DNA was positive in the CSF by polymerase chain reaction.
    - Progresif multifokal lökoensefalopati (PML), bir DNA polyomavirüs olan JC virüs tarafından oluşturulan, santral sinir sisteminin enfeksiyöz demiyelinizan bir hastalığıdır. PML, latent JC virüsün uzun süreli immünsüpresyon sonrasında reaktivasyonu sırasında oluşur. Genelde belirgin immünsüpresyona yol açan durumlar ile ilişkilidir ve klasik olarak da edinilmiş immün yetmezlik sendromu (AIDS) hastalarında görülür. İkinci sıklıkla da kronik lenfositik lösemi (KLL) gibi lenfoproliferatif hastalıklarla bildirilmektedir. Burada, 72 yaşında KLL'ye sahip olan ve PML geliştiren bir kadın hasta rapor edilmektedir. Hastanın klinik semptomları hızlı ilerleyici sağ taraflı hemiparezi ve afaziydi. Beyin manyetik rezonans görüntüleme, tipik subkortikal demiyelinizan kontrast tutmayan beyaz cevher lezyonlarını göstermekteydi ve beyin omurilik sıvısı JC virüs DNA polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu pozitif saptandı.
