You are welcome.

Yes, a LP is not required according to the McDonald criteria (see attached links):

However, if they do not feel they have the right number/shape/size of MS-type lesions, they may want to see O-bands in the LP to firm things up.

Of course O-bands can be found in other diseases too (as I mentioned in my previous post), so it still comes down to making an educated guess once all the results are in.
