Does everyone with MS have oligoclonal bands in CSF?
I was first diagnosed when I went to ER with Optic Neuritis. MRI showed a lot of lesions but NO oligoclonal bands.
I've read that some people present with no o bands. In their csf. For a while o bands were not as significant as they once were but now they are very significant in people who present with a smaller amount of lesions or atypical lesions such as myself. They revised the McDonald criteria to reflect so..
Thank you for your reply I’m going to google McDonald criteria
or create an account to reply.
