ABSTRACT

Multifocal progressive leukoencephalopathy, caused by reactivation of a latent JC-virus infection, has been classically correlated with certain conditions such as HIV infection, hematological malignancies and profound immunosuppression. However, recently, it has been possible to identify Systemic Erythematosus Lupus as a risk factor for the development of this condition. The association of Multifocal Progressive Leukoencephalopathy with Systemic Erythematosus Lupus does not seem to be linked to immunosuppressive treatment but to inherent characteristics of the disease.
