Conversion and reversion of anti ‐John Cunningham virus antibody serostatus: A prospective study

ConclusionLong ‐term anti‐JCV antibody status, including seroconverters/‐reverters around the cut‐off index, is highly predictable by testing three times within short intervals, however, we cannot suggest clearly defined intervals for repetitive testing. The rate of real seroconverters, i.e., new infection s with JCV, per year seems lower than previously described.
