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.

Enterovirus Panel II, CF (Serum)
Reference Values:
Reference Range: < 1:8
INTERPRETIVE CRITERIA for Coxsackie A, B and Echovirus:
< 1:8 Antibody Not Detected
> or = 1:8 Antibody Detected
Single titers > or = 1:32 are indicative of recent infection. Titers of
1:8 and 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.
INTERPRETIVE CRITERIA for Poliovirus:
< 1:8 Antibody Not Detected
> or = 1:8 Antibody Detected
Because CF antibody levels usually persist for only a few months,
any measurable titer may indicate recent exposure. Single titers
> or = 1:32 provide strong evidence for recent exposure. A four-fold
or greater increase in titer between acute and convalescent specimens
confirms recent exposure or infection.
