| Popis: | Progressive multifocal leucoencephalopathy due to JC virus is a rare complication of liver transplantation. Only four cases have already been described in the literature. This disease is difficult to differentiate from leucoencephalopathy associated with immunosuppressive drugs such as cyclosporin or tacrolimus. Positive diagnosis of progressive multifocal leucoencephalopathy no longer requires cerebral biopsy. It must be confirmed by positive JC virus RNA amplification in the cerebrospinal fluid. We report a case of progressive multifocal leucoencephalopathy occurring 18 months after liver transplantation for hepatitis C-related cirrhosis. |
