/L) (78% lymphocytes, 22% monocytes), elevated protein level (1.23 g/L; normal range, 0.19-0.64 g/L), oligoclonal bands (faint one or two), and a high immunoglobulin G index (0.130 g/L; normal reference, ≤0.059 g/L). Despite extensive initial work-up for inflammatory, infectious, autoimmune, or neoplastic causes, a definitive diagnosis was not reached. Thus, repeat MRI of the brain was performed 2 weeks after admission (Fig 4).
