ASO - Titer (Anti Streptolysin O Titres)
Antistreptolysin O (ASO) titer is a blood test to measure antibodies against streptolysin O, a substance produced by group A streptococcus bacteria. Antibodies are proteins our bodies produce when they detect harmful substances, such as bacteria.
.
What is the normal range of ASO? The normal range of the ASO test for adults is less than 200. The normal range of the ASO test for children below five years is less than 100. If your results are above normal levels, it indicates you have a post-streptococcal complication.
.
A positive result means that antibodies have been found. This means that you may have had a recent strep infection. But in 1 in 5 cases, this test won't show an increase in antibodies when you have an illness, such as rheumatic fever. You may need other tests to confirm you have an active infection.
