PML turns up in MS patient taking Ocrevus
« on: May 25, 2017, 05:58:45 am »
This may very well be a Tysabri problem. A patient who'd been taking Tysabri for 3 years switched to the new drug, Ocrevus. After a month on it the patient developed PML, according to this news release:

Just when the patient stopped taking Tysabri isn't stated.
