Default 2 new PML cases apparently recovering
I just read this today. Not sure what "being out of danger" means. The question is: was there any lingering damage? But still sounds like positive news.

27 August 2008 Tysabri - PML Multiple Sclerosis patients recovering

Two European patients who recently developed a dangerous brain infection after taking Elan's multiple sclerosis drug Tysabri are now recovering. Elan's shares rose sharply in Dublin on the news.

A researcher involved in their care told the Reuters news agency that one patient in Scandinavia was now out of danger while a second man in Germany was in the early recovery phase.

Ralf Gold of the Ruhr University Bochum was presenting an update on the cases at the annual meeting of the European Federation of Neurological Societies in Madrid.

Tysabri was withdrawn in 2005 amid three cases of PML, but returned to the market in 2006 with warnings and tougher prescription guidelines.
