Abstract

Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a life-threatening demyelinating CNS disorder caused by reactivation of JC virus (JCV). Due to profound T-cell depletion and potent immunosuppressive factors, allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) recipients are at risk for JCV reactivation. Likewise, an increased risk for infectious complications has been reported for patients treated with the anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody daratumumab, potentially attributable to the depletion of NK cells.
