    What is Antistreptolysin O (ASO) Titre Test?

    The ASO (Antistreptolysin O) Titre test measures the concentration of antibodies to Streptolysin O in your blood. Streptolysin O is a toxin produced by Streptococcus bacteria that causes red blood cells to rupture, giving the bacteria access to the nutrients needed for their growth. The body produces ASO antibodies in response to a streptococcal infection caused by Streptococcus bacteria. Strep infections often cause illnesses like strep throat or scarlet fever, but when left untreated, they can lead to complications such as rheumatic fever (typically in children 5-15 years old), kidney problems (streptococcal glomerulonephritis), impetigo, toxic shock syndrome, and severe infections like cellulitis or necrotizing fasciitis (flesh-eating disease).

    This test can help confirm if you have recently had a strep infection and is particularly valuable when complications arise from untreated strep infections. It aids doctors in diagnosing these associated conditions.

    Antistreptolysin O (ASO) Titre Test Parameters

    This test measures just one parameter: the concentration of antibodies against streptolysin O in your blood. The detection of these antibodies can indicate a past or recent strep infection, even if you aren't currently showing symptoms. Additionally, the test is helpful in diagnosing complications caused by untreated strep infections.

    Antistreptolysin O (ASO) Titre Test Preparation

    Here are the guidelines to follow prior to the ASO test:

    • Prerequisites: There is no requirement to fast before undergoing the ASO Titre test.

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

    • Who Should Get an Antistreptolysin O Titre Test: This test is recommended for individuals who display symptoms of having had a group A streptococcus infection previously.

    • Cautions Before Taking an Antistreptolysin O Titre Test: No specific precautions are necessary before undergoing the ASO Titre test.

    Why Take the Antistreptolysin O (ASO) Titre Test?

    An ASO Titre test is ordered when your doctor suspects that your symptoms might be caused by a recent or past streptococcal infection. Typically, a strep throat infection resolves with proper treatment. However, if the infection is inadequately treated or not treated at all, it can lead to severe complications like glomerulonephritis or rheumatic fever. Since antibodies against streptolysin O remain in the bloodstream for weeks or months after the infection has resolved, the ASO test helps confirm that the complication was caused by a streptococcal infection.

    Signs and symptoms associated with strep-related complications:

    Rheumatic Fever Symptoms:

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

    Glomerulonephritis Symptoms:

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