Abstract
Ninety-one brain tissue sections taken at autopsy from 33 elderly patients (63-100 years old) without progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy were examined for the presence of JC virus DNA by the polymerase chain reaction and Southern hybridization analysis after DNA extraction. JC virus DNA was detected in 15 sections from 10 patients. These results suggest that JC virus is frequently present in the brains of aged patients.Entities:
