Description Resistant infections have become increasingly more widespread in modern medicine (e.g., HIV). Many patients are immunosuppressed due to either medical conditions or medications to suppress the immune system, making such infections more; common in this population. This patient's clinical presentation is unique due to the combination of non-specific MRI changes and a telling history of symptoms, which fits well with diagnosis of progressive multifocal encephalopathy.
