摘要

Introduction The polyomavirus JC (JCV) infects 85% of healthy individuals, and its reactivation in a limited number of inmuno-suppressed people causes progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a severe demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. Pasquier et al 1 hypothesized that JCV-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) might control JCV replication in healthy individuals, blocking the evolution of PML and they determined that the frequency of JCV VP1 epitope-specific CTLs varied from less than 1/100,000 to 1/2,494 peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Therefore more individuals had JCV VP1-specific than cytomegalovirus-specific CTLs (8 of 11 subjects [73%] versus 2 of 10 subjects [20%], respectively). These results showed that a CD8+-T-cell response against JCV is commonly found in inmuno-competent people and suggest that these cells might protect against the development of PML.PML is described for the first time in 1958, at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston by Richardson and his colleagues2 in three patients who presented with multiple demyelinating lesions on the central nervous system (CNS), rapid fatal outcome and underlying chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and Hodgkin's disease. Last report about PML and CLL made by Rayid Abdulqawi et al3 is available on The Internet Journal of Neurology.The genus of polyomavirus belongs to the family of Papovavirus. There are 3 polyomaviruses, the JC, BK and SV40 viruses. They are all viruses with double-stranded DNA. In almost all cases of PML, the JC virus (JCV) is the aetiologic agent, although in isolated reports, BK and SV40 viruses have been implicated. Both JC and BK are initials of patients from whom the respective virus was first isolated. JCV is difficult to isolate, requiring long term cultures in glial cells. There are 4 genotypes numbered from 1 to 4, of which genotypes 1 and 2 are associated with the disease of PML.4 PML is a demyelinating disease of the central nervous system, resulting from infection of oligodendrocytes and astrocytes. The pathologic hallmark is the triad of discrete foci of demyelination, enlarged nuclei of oligodendrocytes, and bizarre-shaped astrocytes. This is consistent with the in vitro viral tropism to glial cells. Neurons are generally spared, but recently it was observed that the granule cell neuron in the cerebellum could also be infected in PML. In one case report, the granule cell neuron was infected exclusively.5,6 Weber's syndrome was first described in 1863 by the German physician Hermann Weber7 Weber's Syndrome occurs when a midbrain lesion gives rise to an ipsilateral third nerve palsy (resulting in an ipsilateral loss of pupillary light reflex and accommodation, ptosis, pupillary dilatation, and lateral deviation of the eye) plus a contralateral hemiplegia. Partial Weber's Syndrome has been described where pupillary reflexes remain intact through sparing of the Edinger-Westphal nucleus in the upper mid-brain8,9 However, to our knowledge this is the first case of a partial Weber's syndrome with sparing of the contralateral upper limb.Neurological disease associated with Human immunodeficiency virus -1 (HIV-1) infection is becoming more common as antiretroviral therapy improves patient survival10 Isolated cerebellar symptoms in HIV infection have been reported rarely11,12 and usually result from lesions due to neoplasm or opportunistic infections12. In H|IV dementia complex cerebellar syndrome has been reported as an early sign preceding cognitive decline in 30% of cases13 Primary cerebellar degenerations in the absence of and toxic, metabolic or nutritional abnormality or genetic predisposition is exceedingly rare11,12 Cerebellar syndrome as a direct effect of HIV infection has been postulated11. Animal studies have shown that rat cerebellar granular cells exposed to HIV coat protein gp 120, had a markedly increased rate of cell death14.The aim of this study is to report a HIV-positive patient with a partia
