A hitherto unrecognised case of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy.

Huey Kuan Tan1, Chun Hong Tang2.   

Abstract

A 65-year-old man presented with a 6-week history of increasing confusion with associated cognitive decline. Empirical antibiotic cover for a urinary tract infection was prescribed with no response. After exhaustive radiological and pathological investigations were carried out, a diagnosis of John Cunningham virus encephalopathy was made. This case report describes the varied clinical presentation of symptoms and their management options, along with the latest clinical opinions behind them. 2015 BMJ Publishing Group Ltd.
