Comparison of the clinical and laboratory characteristics of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder with or without cerebrospinal fluid oligoclonal bands: a cohort with 36-month follow-up
For AQP4-IgG-positive NMOSD patients, positivity for CSF OCBs is associated with higher CSF cell counts and a higher likelihood to have concomitant CTD and oAIA. OCBs+ is not uncommon in NMOSD and may predict more frequent relapses, but not a more serious illness.
