Coxsackievirus B2 Neutralizing Antibody, Titer details
What Coxsackievirus B2 Neutralizing Antibody, Titer shows
Coxsackievirus B2 is one of six coxsackie B types, enteroviruses spread by contact with saliva, respiratory droplets or stool. Coxsackie B viruses usually cause mild illness, but they are known causes of viral meningitis, painful chest-wall muscle inflammation, and inflammation of the heart muscle or its lining. This test measures neutralizing antibodies, which block the virus in the lab, and reports a titer: the highest dilution of your blood that still blocks it. A higher titer shows exposure, but antibodies persist for years, so a fourfold rise between two samples weeks apart is more meaningful than one result.
