Abstract

Abstract: Neurological opportunistic infections are going to increase. Clinicians should be aware of the neurological spectrum of JC virus manifestations, including granule cell neuronopathy. Detection of JC virus DNA by polymerase chain reaction in cerebrospinal fluid should be realized in the assessment of a progressive cerebellar ataxia in an immunocompromised patient.
