MSLeaders Experts' Exchange is where you can
present your own clinical challenges to leading MS
experts and also review a growing collection of archived
exchanges. Below, read an Experts' Exchange that
stemmed from "PML: What MS-Treating Clinicians Need to Know."
If you haven't watched the program yet, click here

Experts' Exchange

I understand that finding JC virus in the CSF of
patients can confirm the diagnosis of PML, but I've
heard that some MS patients can have JCV DNA in
their CSF even in the absence of any other evidence
of PML. Do these represent "false positives" and if so
how should they be treated?
