The PML risk is there per this excerpt from a report....
Quote:
"BG12 does cause a drop in lymphocyte counts. As lymphopenia is a risk factor for PML blood counts will need to be monitored and if too low the drug will have to be stopped. In my opinion, the lymphopenia is a manageable side effect of BG12. Based on the number of patient years of follow-up of psoriasis patients on Fumaderm PML and other opportunistic infections are unlikely to be a problem"
