    What is Antistreptolysin O (ASO) Titre Test?

    The ASO (Antistreptolysin O) Titre test determines the level of Streptolysin O antibodies in your blood. Streptolysin O is a toxin released by Streptococcus bacteria that breaks down red blood cells, allowing the bacteria to access nutrients to thrive. The immune system produces these ASO antibodies in response to a Streptococcus infection, commonly known as strep. Strep infections often result in illnesses such as strep throat or scarlet fever, but if not treated, they may lead to complications like rheumatic fever (predominantly in children aged 5-15), kidney disease (streptococcal glomerulonephritis), impetigo, toxic shock syndrome, and serious infections such as cellulitis or necrotizing fasciitis (flesh-eating disease).

    An ASO Titre test is essential to detect whether you have had a recent strep infection, particularly in cases where untreated strep infections have led to complications. It helps doctors in diagnosing related conditions.

    Antistreptolysin O (ASO) Titre Test Parameters

    The test evaluates a single factor: the level of streptolysin O antibodies in the blood. Finding these antibodies suggests that you may have had a strep infection recently or in the past, even if you're not exhibiting any symptoms at the moment. The test is also valuable in identifying complications from untreated strep infections.

    Antistreptolysin O (ASO) Titre Test Preparation

    Follow these instructions before getting the ASO Titre test:

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

    • Best Time to Get Tested: The ASO Titre test can be done at any time during the day.

    • Who Should Get an Antistreptolysin O Titre Test: The test is needed if you exhibit symptoms indicating a previous group A streptococcus infection.

    • Cautions Before Taking an Antistreptolysin O Titre Test: No particular precautions need to be taken before the ASO Titre test.

    Why Take the Antistreptolysin O (ASO) Titre Test?

    Your doctor may order an ASO Titre test if they suspect that your current symptoms are due to a recent or past streptococcal infection. A typical strep throat infection usually resolves with appropriate treatment. However, if not treated effectively or left untreated, it may result in complications such as rheumatic fever or glomerulonephritis. As antibodies against streptolysin O can remain in the bloodstream for weeks or even months after a strep infection, the ASO test can confirm that these complications stem from a previous streptococcal infection.

    Symptoms of complications arising from a strep infection:

    Rheumatic Fever Symptoms:

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

    Glomerulonephritis Symptoms:

    ● Rash ● Bloody urine ● High blood pressure ● Swelling (oedema) ● Fatigue, lack of energy ● Joint pain ● Decreased urine output
