• Negative: <1:64 • Present or past: 1:64 • Recent/active: >1:64 A fourfold increase in antibody titer between acute and convalescent specimens is consistent with recent infection. A single titer ≥1:128 can be consistent with recent infection. Titers of 1:16−1:64 can be indicative of recent or past infection.
