Abstract
• We report an instance of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy in which cytarabine administration was successful as demonstrated by clinical course and follow-up computerized tomography studies. In this case, simian virus 40 (SV40) antigen was demonstrated in CSF cells by the indirect immunofluorescence technique.
