    What is Antistreptolysin O (ASO) Titre Test?

    The ASO (Antistreptolysin O) Titre test measures the concentration of Streptolysin O antibodies in your bloodstream. Streptolysin O is a toxin secreted by Streptococcus bacteria that destroys red blood cells, providing the bacteria with essential nutrients to grow. The immune system produces ASO antibodies as a response to a streptococcal (strep) infection caused by Streptococcus bacteria. Strep infections commonly cause conditions such as strep throat or scarlet fever. However, if left untreated, they can lead to severe complications such as rheumatic fever (mostly in children aged 5-15), kidney issues (streptococcal glomerulonephritis), impetigo, toxic shock syndrome, and serious infections like cellulitis or necrotising fasciitis (flesh-eating disease). The ASO Titre test can help determine if you have had a recent strep infection, and it is particularly helpful when complications arise from an untreated strep infection. It can assist doctors in diagnosing related conditions.

    Antistreptolysin O (ASO) Titre Test Parameters

    This test measures one key element: the amount of antibodies present in the blood that target streptolysin O. These antibodies can indicate that you've had a strep infection, either recently or in the past, even if you're not showing any signs of illness. It also helps doctors diagnose complications that may arise from untreated strep infections.

    Antistreptolysin O (ASO) Titre Test Preparation

    Please follow these directions before taking the ASO Titre test:

    • Prerequisites: There is no need to fast before taking the ASO Titre test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested: The test can be taken at any time throughout the day.

    • Who Should Get an Antistreptolysin O Titre Test: If you exhibit signs of a past group A streptococcus infection, this test may be necessary.

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

    Why Take the Antistreptolysin O (ASO) Titre Test?

    The ASO Titre test is performed when a doctor suspects that your current symptoms are linked to a recent or past streptococcal infection. Usually, a strep throat infection resolves with proper treatment. However, if left untreated or not effectively addressed, it can lead to complications such as glomerulonephritis or rheumatic fever. Since antibodies against streptolysin O can remain in the blood for weeks or even months after a strep infection, the ASO test can confirm that these complications are related to a previous streptococcal infection.

    Conditions and symptoms associated with strep infection:

    Rheumatic Fever Symptoms:

    ● Skin rash ● Small, painless nodules under the skin ● Joint swelling and pain, particularly in the wrists, knees, ankles, and elbows (which may move between joints) ● Fever ● Rapid, jerky movements (Sydenham's chorea) ● Possible heart inflammation (carditis), which may cause chest pain, heart palpitations, or shortness of breath

    Glomerulonephritis Symptoms:

    ● Decreased urine output ● Fatigue and tiredness ● High blood pressure ● Rash ● Joint pain ● Swelling (oedema) ● Bloody urine
