Clinically Isolated Syndromes, A New Oligoclonal Band Test Accurately Predicts Conversion to MS
Neurol 66:576-578, Masjuan,J.,et al, 2006
See this aricle in Pubmed
Article Abstract
The presence of oligoclonal IgG bands is highly specific and sensitive for early prediction of conversion to multiple sclerosis. MRI criteria have a high specificity but less sensitivity. The simultaneous use of both tests shows high sensitivity and specificity in predicting clinically isolated demyelinating syndrome conversion to clinically definite multiple sclerosis.
