The IFA procedure for measuring IgM antibodies to HSV 1 and HSV 2 detects both type-common and<br />

type-specific HSV antibodies. Thus, IgM reactivity to both HSV 1 and HSV 2 may represent crossreactive<br />

HSV antibodies rather than exposure to both HSV 1 and HSV 2.<br />

Diagnosis of central nervous system infections can be accomplished by demonstrating the presence of<br />

intrathecally-produced specific antibody. Interpreting results may be complicated by low antibody levels<br />

found in CSF, passive transfer of antibody from blood, and contamination via bloody taps. The<br />

interpretation of CSF results must consider CSF-serum antibody ratios to the infectious agent.<br />

This test was developed and its performance characteristics have been determined by Focus Diagnostics.<br />

Performance characteristics refer to the analytical performance of the test.<br />
