Single titers > or = 1:32 are indicative of recent infection. Titers of
1:8 or 1:16 may be indicative of either past or recent infection, since
CF antibody levels persist for only a few months. A four-fold or
greater increase in titer between acute and convalescent specimens
confirms the diagnosis. There is considerable crossreactivity among
enteroviruses; however, the highest titer is usually associated
with the infecting serotype
