Ordering Recommendation

Use to evaluate suspected autoimmune disease of the central nervous system.

Targeted phenotype-specific panels are preferred for the evaluation of autoimmune neurologic disease. Refer to the Autoimmune Neurologic Disease Panel With Reflex, Serum and CSF Test Fact Sheet for phenotype-specific test options.

Testing in both serum and CSF is recommended to maximize diagnostic yield; refer to Autoimmune Neurologic Disease Panel with Reflex, Serum (3006051) for serum testing.

Note

If NMDA CSF antibody IgG is positive, then titer will be added. Additional charges apply.
If AMPA CSF antibody IgG is positive, then titer will be added. Additional charges apply.
If GABA-BR CSF antibody IgG is positive, then titer will be added. Additional charges apply.
If CASPR2 CSF antibody IgG is positive, then titer will be added. Additional charges apply.
