| ==Causes==

| The cause of PML is a type of [[polyomavirus]] called the [[JC virus]] (JCV), after the initials of the patient in whom it was first discovered. The [[virus]] is widespread, with 86% of the general population presenting antibodies, but it usually remains latent, causing disease only when the immune system has been severely weakened.
