title: [Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy and hemochromatosis. Pathological study of a case (author's transl)].
abstract: A case of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (P.M.L.) with humoral immunologic deficiency and hemochromatosis has been studied by light and electron microscopy. Widespread demyelination of white substance, gigantic astrocytes, inflammatory perivascular cuffs and numerous nuclear and cytoplasmic viral inclusions, suggesting Papovavirus were observed. The relationship between P.M.L. and hemochromatosis is discussed.
