What does a low result mean?

A titer at or below 1:80 is considered negative and completely physiological.

What does a high result mean?

A mildly positive titer (1:160) is exceedingly common in completely healthy individuals (up to 15% of the population) with zero clinical impact.

Questions ready for your doctor

Bring these questions to your next consultation to discuss with your healthcare practitioner:

  • Does a mild isolated titer have any practical meaning if I feel well?
  • Is standard yearly follow-up sufficient to verify baseline stability?
  • Does the fluorescence staining pattern clarify the context?
