Do you have a Raptiva Lawsuit?
On February 19, 2009, the Food & Drug Administration announced that people who take Raptiva are at risk for developing a rare fatal condition known as PML or progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy.
The FDA issued a public health advisory concerning three confirmed, and one possible report of PML, a rare brain infection, in patients using the psoriasis drug Raptiva. Three of those patients have died.
PML is a brain disease that gets worse over time and can attack many parts of the brain at once. The brain infection is caused by a loss of white matter, a substance that protects nerve fibers in the brain. Without this white matter or myelin, nerve signals don't compute from the brain to the rest of the body.
PML is caused by the reactivation of a common virus in the central nervous system of immune-compromised persons. The JC virus is carried by a majority of people and is considered harmless except for persons with lowered immune defenses. PML is most common among people with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).
