The Coxsackie virus antibody test is performed to detect IgG antibodies produced against the coxsackie virus in a blood by ELISA method.

Positive Result:

An antibody titer greater than or equal to 1:80 may indicate past or current infection but the positive test result does not always indicate current or recent infection as IgG antibodies to Coxsackie species can be detected in uninfected individuals due to prior exposure to infected hosts or in case of vaccination. It is, therefore, important to correlate serological values with a clinical history of the patient.

Negative result: 

No antibodies are found against the Coxsackie virus indicating no infection.
