Do you have any idea what happens when a AE reported PML case is "suspected"? Are all of these cases flagged and sent for independant analysis, or ?

The criteria for diagnoses of PML is clear

- Symptoms suggestive of PML
- MRI findings consistent with PML
- JC viral DNA in the CSF

All suspected cases of PML are worked up by BiogenIdec to confirm/rule out PML.
