What is PML?

Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy is a devastating infection of the nervous system caused by the JC virus, which attacks the brain and disrupts nervous system activity. Symptoms can include problems with speech, vision, movement and thought processes. The disease progresses rapidly toward serious disability and death. Sadly, the average survival time is generally no more than three months after contracting the disease.

PML Reported in Raptiva Users

According to Genentech, a 70-year-old Raptiva user who took the drug for more than four years developed progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy. The company admitted the drug may have caused the disease. A second 62-year-old patient developed progressive neurologic symptoms and died of unknown causes.

Has Raptiva been associated with any other side effects?

In addition to PML, Raptiva has also been linked to other serious side effects including (but not limited to): Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), Miller-Fisher syndromes, encephalitis, encephalopathy, meningitis, sepsis and opportunistic infections.
