Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy as the presenting feature in a patient with occult low-count monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Introduction: Low Count Monoclonal B-Cell Lymphocytosis (LC-MBL) is a relatively poorly understood entity which has been suggested to be very common in asymptomatic adults and possibly related to infectious complications despite not progressing to CLL. Methods: We describe the first case of Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML) presenting in a 72-year-old man with LC-MBL but no other immunocompromising conditions. Results: A diagnosis of PML was confirmed with classic MRI findings in association with a high CSF John Cunningham polyomavirus (JCV) viral load (4.09′ 10 5 copies/mL). An extensive search for underlying immunocompromising conditions only demonstrated LC-MBL representing approximately 4% of total leukocytes (0.2′ 10 9 /L). Discussion: This is the first report of PML in association with LC-MBL. Careful review of peripheral blood flow cytometry results is necessary to identify this disorder. Further study of the epidemiology and infectious complications of LC-MBL are warranted.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
