Titers greater than or equal to 1:80 are suggestive of myasthenia; however, striated muscle antibody can be found in rheumatic fever, myocardial infarction, and a variety of post-cardiotomy states. All positives will be titered to endpoint. If Striated Muscle Ab is >1:40, then a titer will be added. Additional charges apply.
