Natalizumab (NTZ) can be associated with an opportunistic infection, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), caused by John Cunningham virus (JCV). High titer of anti-JCV antibody (JCV index) in patients treated with NTZ for over 2 years limit it use, leading to treatment discontinuation.
