Interpretive Criteria:

            <1:8                  Antibody Not Detected

            >or= 1:8            Antibody Detected

 

Single titers of >or= 1:64 are indicative of recent or current infection. Titers of 1:8 – 1:32 may be indicative of either past or recent infection, since CF antibody levels persist for only a few months. A four-fold or greater increase in titer between acute and convalescent specimens confirms the diagnosis.
