       HIV drug may help with PML

       A blog from MedPage Today, January 29, 2014, includes a story
       indicating that a HIV drug, maraviroc (Selzentry), may be
       effective in treating PML in MS patients.
       [quote]Amit Bar-Or, MD, of McGill University in Montreal, and
       colleagues reported in the New England Journal of Medicine this
       week that oral maraviroc (Selzentry), a CCR5 chemokine receptor
       antagonist for treating certain forms of HIV infection, helped a
       49-year-old woman with MS avoid IRIS following plasmapheresis.
       The woman had undergone plasmapheresis because she had developed
       PML while taking natalizumab.[/quote]
