Reference Range:
IgG: <0.90
IgM: <0.80
INTERPRETIVE CRITERIA:
| IgG: | |
| <0.90 | Antibody not detected |
| 0.9-1.09 | Equivocal |
| >or=1.10 | Antibody detected |
| | |
| IgM: | |
| <0.80 | Antibody not detected |
| 0.80-0.99 | Equivocal |
| >or=1.00 | Antibody detected |
Interpretation
Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
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.

Day(s) Performed
Outlines the days the test is performed. This field reflects the day that the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means that assays are performed multiple times during the day.

Report Available
The interval of time (receipt of sample at Mayo Clinic Laboratories to results available) taking into account standard setup days and weekends. The first day is the time that it typically takes for a result to be available. The last day is the time it might take, accounting for any necessary repeated testing.
