Abbreviations: BLD, below limit of detection for assay (<1000 copies/μg RNA); CEA, carcinoembryonic antigen; CSF, cerebrospinal fluid; ELISA, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; ID, identification; monos/macros, monocytes/macrophages; MV-CEA, measles virus derivative producing carcinoembryonic antigen; ND, not data (laboratory did not obtain counts before Cytospin of sample); OD, opical density; QRT-PCR, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction; TCID50, median tissue culture infective dose.

a

Assay limit of detection improved from 0.5 to 0.1 ng/ml between sampling dates.

b

OD > 0.25 is positive.

c

No blasts or malignant cells seen.
