Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy
Abstract
IN the course of the regular post-mortem examination of the brains of patients coming to autopsy at the Massachusetts General Hospital, my attention has been called in recent years to an unusual disorder of the cerebral white matter with distinctive features unfamiliar to me and my colleagues from our own experience or that of others. We reported 3 such cases in 19581 and called the condition "progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy" to emphasize the outstanding clinicopathological features. Since these 3 cases, and 3 of the 5 others previously reported, were associated either with lymphatic leukemia or with Hodgkin's disease, we considered the . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
