Figure 4. Distributions of AI Among Untreated Seropositive Patients.

Scatterplots of antibody index (AI) after the exclusion of patients with relapse prevention therapy or with CSF-restricted anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody (MOG-IgG) are shown. Both the distribution of AI value and the prevalence of AI value ≥1.5 or >4 were still significantly higher in the MOG-IgG seropositive patients than in the anti–aquaporin-4 antibodies (AQP4-IgG) seropositive patients. Diagonal solid lines represent the AI values of 1.5 and 4.0. IgG = immunoglobulin G;
