    What is Antistreptolysin O (ASO) Titre Test?

    The ASO (Antistreptolysin O) Titre test measures the level of Streptolysin O antibodies in your blood. Streptolysin O is a toxin produced by bacteria that breaks open red blood cells, allowing the bacteria to access nutrients and grow. ASO antibodies are produced by the immune system in response to a streptococcal (strep) infection, which is caused by bacteria known as Streptococcus . Commonly, strep infections lead to illnesses like strep throat or scarlet fever, but if untreated, they may cause complications. These complications include rheumatic fever (mainly in children 5-15 years of age), kidney disorder (streptococcal glomerulonephritis), scarlet fever, impetigo, toxic shock syndrome, and severe infections like cellulitis or necrotising fasciitis (flesh-eating disease).

    An ASO Titre test can help detect if you have recently had a strep infection. It's especially useful if you’re experiencing complications from an untreated strep infection and can guide doctors in the diagnosis of such conditions.

    Antistreptolysin O (ASO) Titre Test Parameters

    It solely measures one factor: the level of antibodies against streptolysin O in the blood. The presence of these antibodies indicates a recent or past strep infection even if you do not currently have symptoms. The test can also help in the diagnosis of complications from untreated strep infections.

    Antistreptolysin O (ASO) Titre Test Preparation

    Here are some guidelines to follow before taking the ASLO test:

    • Prerequisites: You are not required to fast before taking the ASO Titre test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested: You can take this test at any time of the day.

    • Who Should Get an Antistreptolysin O Titre Test: You will need this test if you show symptoms of having had group A streptococcus infection in the past.

    • Cautions Before Taking an Antistreptolysin O Titre Test: No special precautions are required before doing the ASO Titre test.

    Why Take the Antistreptolysin O (ASO) Titre Test?

    The ASLO test is ordered when your doctor suspects that your current symptoms are caused by a recent or past streptococcal infection. A typical streptococcal throat infection usually resolves when it is treated appropriately. However, if the infection is not effectively treated or not treated at all, it can lead to complications like glomerulonephritis or rheumatic fever. In such cases, the ASO test is ordered as antibodies against streptolysin O can be found in the blood for weeks or even months after a strep infection has resolved. The presence of these antibodies in blood confirms that the complication originated from a streptococcal infection.

    Here are a few conditions and their symptoms that may originate from a strep infection:

    Rheumatic Fever Symptoms:

    • Fever

    • Small, painless nodules under the skin

    • Rapid, jerky movements (Sydenham's chorea)

    • Skin rash

    • Joint swelling and pain, especially in the ankles, knees, elbows, and wrists (sometimes moving between joints)

    • Possible heart inflammation (carditis), which may cause shortness of breath, heart palpitations, or chest pain

    Glomerulonephritis Symptoms:

    • Joint pain

    • Swelling (oedema)

    • High blood pressure

    • Fatigue, decreased energy

    • Decreased urine output

    • Bloody urine

    • Rash
