Default More PML
I'm sure people have read this but I wanted to post the latest. As of June 7 there are now 55 cases of PML. 20 of the cases are in the United States. There have been 11 deaths. But as I understand it, more people in the U.S. are on Tysabri than elsewhere.

There have now been 24 cases reported since Jan. 12, giving an average rate of 4.8 per month. Hunter said this would imply a further 29 cases by the end of December, giving an estimated 84 PML cases by the end of 2010.

Most of the recent cases seem to be in people on Tysabri 3 years and longer.
