3 bands in CSF and serum

Does anyone know what it means if you have 3 bands in both the CSF and in the blood?

Agree with doublevision. Lupus might be on the list with matching O-bands along with one or two others.

If the bands are matching, this points to negative for MS.

I take it your doc hasn't gone over your results with you yet?
