Abstract
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a fatal demyelinat ing disease that occurs in immunocompromised hosts, We describe two pa tients with biopsy-proved PML who showed improvement clinically and ra diologically after medical therapy. These cases reveal that interval i mprovement can in rare instances be consistent with a diagnosis of PML .
