    What is Antistreptolysin O (ASO) Titre Test?

    The ASO Titre test measures the concentration of antibodies against Streptolysin O in your blood. Streptolysin O is a toxin produced by Streptococcus bacteria that damages red blood cells, allowing the bacteria to obtain vital nutrients for growth. The immune system creates ASO antibodies in response to an infection caused by Streptococcus bacteria. Common strep infections include strep throat and scarlet fever, but when left untreated, they can lead to severe complications such as rheumatic fever (primarily in children aged 5-15), kidney problems like streptococcal glomerulonephritis, impetigo, toxic shock syndrome, and life-threatening conditions such as cellulitis or necrotizing fasciitis (flesh-eating disease).

    The ASO Titre test is particularly helpful in determining if you have had a recent streptococcal infection, and it becomes crucial in diagnosing complications from untreated strep infections. It assists healthcare professionals in confirming related conditions.

    Antistreptolysin O (ASO) Titre Test Parameters

    This test evaluates a vital component: the concentration of antibodies circulating in the blood that respond to streptolysin O. These antibodies suggest that you may have had a strep infection at some point, whether recently or long ago, even if you're not showing any symptoms. It also helps doctors in recognising complications that could result from untreated strep infections.

    Antistreptolysin O (ASO) Titre Test Preparation

    Please follow the instructions below before you take the ASO Titre test:

    • Prerequisites: Fasting is not necessary before taking the ASO Titre test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested: You can take the test at any point during the day.

    • Who Should Get an Antistreptolysin O Titre Test: This test is recommended if you show signs that suggest a previous Group A streptococcal infection.

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

    Why Take the Antistreptolysin O (ASO) Titre Test?

    The ASO Titre test is ordered when a doctor suspects your current symptoms might be linked to a recent or past streptococcal infection. While a strep throat infection typically resolves with appropriate treatment, untreated or poorly treated infections can lead to severe complications such as glomerulonephritis or rheumatic fever. Since antibodies against streptolysin O can stay in the bloodstream for weeks or even months after a strep infection, the ASO test can help confirm that complications stem from a previous streptococcal infection.

    Conditions and symptoms related to strep infection:

    Rheumatic Fever Symptoms: ● Fever ● Small, painless lumps beneath the skin ● Swelling and pain in joints, particularly in ankles, wrists, elbows, and knees (moving between joints) ● Skin rash ● Rapid, jerky movements (Sydenham's chorea) ● Potential heart inflammation (carditis) that may lead to chest pain, shortness of breath, or palpitations

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