Anti Streptolysin O Titre
Anti Streptolysin O Titre
The ASO Titre test measures the level of Anti-Streptolysin O antibodies in your blood, which are produced after a Group A Streptococcus infection (such as strep throat or skin infections). Elevated levels may indicate a recent or past strep infection and can help doctors assess complications like rheumatic fever or post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis. This test supports diagnosis when symptoms persist after a sore throat or unexplained inflammatory conditions occur. It is commonly used alongside other clinical findings for a complete assessment.
