What is Anti Streptolysin O (ASO)?

This test measures the level of antibodies your body produces against streptolysin O, a toxin released by Group A Streptococcus bacteria. It helps determine if you've recently had a strep infection.

Why is this test important?

An elevated ASO level indicates a recent or past Group A Streptococcus infection, which can lead to serious complications like rheumatic fever or glomerulonephritis if left untreated. It's crucial for diagnosing these post-streptococcal conditions.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
