AB  - Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a rare disease of the 
      immunosuppression that results from neurotropic invasion of the JC virus which 
      leads to demyelination of oligodendrocytes. Immune reconstitution inflammatory 
      syndrome (IRIS), on the other hand, is a condition of inflammation that develops 
      as the immune system reconstitutes. This case report describes a case of a 
      35-year-old HIV-negative male who presented with three weeks of right lower 
      extremity paresthesias as well as right upper extremity apraxia. He was diagnosed 
      with PML complicated by IRIS secondary to Rituximab, which he had completed four 
      months prior to presentation. Despite the condition's poor prognosis, the patient 
      recovered with only minor deficits.
