In general, PML has a mortality rate of 30-50 percent in the first few months following diagnosis but depends on the severity of the underlying disease and treatment received. Those who survive PML can be left with severe neurological disabilities.

Re: Can the JC virus be killed before PML
Thanks for the link. However, that article is almost 2 years old and it was written for investors to assuage their fears that Roche's new drug Ocrevus might be a financial failure. PwMS are just a bankroll to those authors.ElliotB wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2019 4:41 pmAlso found this article from 2017 titled Neurologists: additional PML cases in MS not a major concern for Ocrevus:

Re: Can the JC virus be killed before PML
What I find really odd is that there is no requirement for JC virus testing, only a hepatitis panel. I insisted that my doctor test me for the JC virus, should have the results next week.
Frankly I am not thrilled with making the change but at this time it is likely necessary for me.
