Request for Interpretation of CSF Analysis Results - #49812

سوف ارسل لك تحليل عينةcsf ثم تخبريني بالنتيجه مع الشرح التام الوافي Oligoclonal Bands in CSF (Isoelectric Focusing) Result: Mirror Pattern. The patient’s cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) contains restriction bands that are also present in the corresponding serum sample. This means there is no intrathecal IgG synthesis (no antibody production inside the brain/spinal cord). The IgG detected in the CSF is due to peripheral IgG passing from the blood (serum) into the CSF. Reference Values: Normally, oligoclonal bands should be absent. Oligoclonal bands are found in about 95% of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), but they are not specific only to MS. They can also appear in other diseases such as inflammatory neuropathy, CNS lupus, brain tumors, and infections. Therefore, laboratory results must be evaluated together with clinical findings.
