PML
PML is a rare condition in which the material covering nerves in specific regions of the brain (known as white matter) are damaged. PML is due to a viral infection, and it is usually seen in individuals with a weak immune system. Symptoms are caused by the damage in the brain, and can include loss of coordination, memory loss, vision problems, and troubles with language ability.
