Coxsackie A Antibodies, Serum
Reference Values:
REFERENCE RANGE: or = 1:32 are indicative of recent infection. Titers of 1:8 or 1:16 may be indicative of
either past or recent infection, since CF antibody levels persist for only a few months. A four-fold or
greater increase in titer between acute and convalescent specimens confirms the diagnosis. There is
considerable crossreactivity among enteroviruses; however, the highest titer is usually associated with the
infecting serotype.

Coxsackie B (1-6) Antibodies, (CSF)
Reference Values:
Reference Range: < 1:1
Interpretive Criteria:
< 1:1 Antibody Not Detected
> or = 1:1 Antibody Detected
Diagnosis of infections of the central nervous system is accomplished by demonstrating the presence of
intrathecally-produced specific antibody. Interpretation of 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.
