My LP was positive for bands. In the report it noted "Oligoclonal bands are
present in approximately 95 percent of patients with multiple
sclerosis but may also be present in the CSF from patients with
viral or bacterial meningoencephalitis, subacute sclerosing
panencephalitis, neurosyphilis, Guillain-Barre syndrome, or
meningeal carcinomatosis."
