Reference Interval:
 
Test Number Components Reference Interval
0051085Respiratory Syncytial Virus Antibody, IgG 0.89 IV or less: Negative - No significant level of respiratory syncytial virus IgG antibody detected.
0.90-1.10 IV: Equivocal - Questionable presence of respiratory syncytial virus IgG antibody detected. Repeat testing in 10-14 days may be helpful.
1.11 IV or greater: Positive - IgG antibodies to respiratory syncytial virus detected, which may suggest current or past infection. 
0051086Respiratory Syncytial Virus Antibody, IgM 0.89 IV or less: Negative - No significant level of respiratory syncytial virus IgM antibody detected.
0.90-1.10 IV: Equivocal - Questionable presence of respiratory syncytial virus IgM antibody detected. Repeat testing in 10-14 days may be helpful.
1.11 IV or greater: Positive - IgM antibodies to respiratory syncytial virus detected, which may suggest current or recent infection.
