Thanks Phil I wonder what that means for the future of DMF drugs for other conditions
That is easy Jim.
There are two, no three, known and recorded cases of getting PML with the use of DMF.
So they are very occasional. It is not realistic to have too much fear for it.
On the contrary there are hundreds of cases of PML recorded with the use of MTX.
There is the risk that an excellent medication will be dumped because of fear for three occasional cases where in all cases the protocol was not well followed.
