The original reference is 

Weiner LP, Herndon RM, Narayan O et al. N Engl. J Med 286;385 1972

See also

Weiner LP et al. J. Virol. 10;147 1972

There are also many reviews which describe SV40/PML - most of them very 
old... See for example :

Stroop WG & Baringer JR. Persistent, slow and latent viral infections;
Prog. Med Virol 28, 1-43 1982.

I hope this is of some help
