| Abstract: | Natalizumab (NTZ) was the first approved humanized monoclonal antibody in highly active relapsing remitting MS (RRMS). Because of the mechanism of inhibiting the migration of immune cells through the blood-brain barrier into the CNS, NTZ is associated with an increased risk of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) by the John Cunningham virus (JCV). Infections with other neurotropic viruses are rarely reported. We present a case of rapid retinal necrosis induced by varicella zoster virus (VZV) in a patient with RRMS under long-term NTZ treatment. |
