Abstract: In order to study the clinical diagnostic value of CSF oligoclonal bands in children with viral encephalitis, CSF of 42 children with viral encephalitis were analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and oligoclonal bands were observed. The standard of criticism was the number of γ-globulin oligoclonal bands. 32 out of 42 samples were positive (76.19% positivity), the rest were negative (23.81% negativity). The result showed that CSF oligoclonal bands were of clinical diagnostic value in children with viral encephalitis.

Key words: oligoclonal bands, CSF, viral encephalitis, children
