Can Oligoclonal Bands be Present in Other Diseases?

Yes, OCBs are not specific to MS and can be present in other diseases involving the CNS. Conditions such as Guillain-Barré syndrome, sarcoidosis, vasculitis, and various CNS infections can also show OCBs. Therefore, the presence of OCBs alone is not definitive for MS and must be interpreted in the context of other clinical and laboratory findings.
