  • Case report Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy in Purine Nucleoside Phosphorylase deficiency
    2007
    Co-Authors: Nima Parvaneh, Nima Pouladi, Fatemeh Sayarifar, Mehdi Yeganeh, Mahmoud Reza Ashrafi, Leila Parvaneh
    Abstract:

    Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy is a demyelinating disease caused by JC virus, an opportunistic infection of the central nervous system. Although the majority of cases are infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), other immunocompromised patients are also at risk. Purine Nucleoside Phosphorylase is an enzyme in the Purine salvage pathway that reversibly converts inosine to hypoxanthine and guanosine to guanine. Purine Nucleoside Phosphorylase deficiency is a combined immunodeficiency with a profound cellular defect. Neurologic abnormalities are salient features of this syndrome. We describe for the first time a patient with this rare disorder presented with progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy. 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
