Abstract

Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a rare severe central nervous system (CNS) opportunistic infection usually occurring in immunocompromised patients. Iatrogenic PML has been described in patients assuming treatment suppressing immune surveillance in CNS. Daratumumab is an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody, used to treat Multiple Myeloma (MM), causing the destruction of suppressive cells and the increase of CD4+ helper and CD8+ cytotoxic T cells. Only two cases of PML on daratumumab has been reported in literature.
