Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

<0.90

    

INTERPRETIVE CRITERIA:

                <0.90         Antibody not detected

                0.9-1.09      Equivocal

                > or = 1.10   Antibody detected

    

Diagnosis of central nervous system infections can be

accomplished by demonstrating the presence of

intrathecally-produced specific antibody. Interpreting

results may be complicated by low antibody levels found

in CSF, passive transfer of antibody from blood, and

contamination via bloody taps. The interpretation of CSF

results must consider CSF-serum antibody ratios to the

infectious agent.
