Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy is an advancing viral
inflammation of the white matter of the brain. Immunosuppressed
people are more susceptible to this disorder than the general
population. Evidence of the disease may be a person's recent
loss of coordination and weakness, progressing to a loss of
language, visual problems and headaches. |Review Date:
