Clinical Interpretation

Reference Range:

Adenovirus Ab < 1:8

Interpretive Criteria:
< 1:8 Antibody not detected
≥1:8 Antibody detected

Single titers of ≥ 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 fourfold or greater increase in titer between acute and convalescent specimens confirms the diagnosis.


Methodology:
  • Complement Fixation (CF)

Clinical Significance

Adenovirus causes respiratory tract infections, conjunctivitis, and diarrhea. Infections are most common in individuals who are immunocompromised and in young children.
