@A MyMSTeam Member it means a positive result for ms or other demyelinating disease, or even lupus etc. the higher the number doesn’t mean more disease activity or inflammation . Anything over two is considered positive.
It's showing the total of oligoclonal bands in your spinal tap fluid which confirms multiple sclerosis.
Shelly, did you have a spinal tap done recently? I did years ago.
*That indicates a very high # for inflammaton in spinal fluid. 😕😑
My number years ago was much lower before being dx’s rrms via er visit and mri.
It *could point to CNS damage. Your neuro could answer this!
If you did not have that, than I’m not sure what the heck that means. 🤷♂️
If it is based on that, that info could potentially lead to MS dx if not dx yet.
Best,
Danny
That's a great question! Could you share a bit more context about what kind of report you're referring to? For example, is this from an MRI report, a lab test, or something else related to your MS care?
With a little more detail, a much more helpful and accurate answer can be provided for you. 😊
