What does this test Anti Streptolysin O (ASO), Quantitative Test identify?

Anti Streptolysin O (ASO), Quantitative Test

The Anti Streptolysin O (ASO) test is a blood test that measures the level of antibodies produced by the body in response to the Streptolysin O toxin produced by the bacteria Streptococcus pyogenes. These antibodies are produced as part of the immune response to a streptococcal infection, such as strep throat or scarlet fever.

The ASO test is used to help diagnose a recent streptococcal infection, monitor treatment for such an infection, or determine if a person has had a previous streptococcal infection. A high level of ASO antibodies in the blood may indicate a recent or current infection, while a low level may indicate a past infection or no infection at all.

Overall, the ASO test helps identify and monitor streptococcal infections, allowing healthcare providers to provide appropriate treatment and prevent potential complications associated with these infections.

Why is this test Anti Streptolysin O (ASO), Quantitative Test taken?

The Anti Streptolysin O (ASO), Quantitative Test is taken to detect the presence of antibodies in the blood that are produced in response to a Streptococcal infection. Streptolysin O is a toxin produced by the bacteria Streptococcus pyogenes, which causes conditions such as strep throat, scarlet fever, and rheumatic fever.

The test measures the level of ASO antibodies in the blood, which can help diagnose a recent or current streptococcal infection. It is often ordered when a healthcare provider suspects a patient has a streptococcal infection based on symptoms such as a sore throat, fever, and swollen lymph nodes.

Monitoring ASO levels can also be useful in assessing the effectiveness of treatment for streptococcal infections and in determining if there is a risk of developing complications such as rheumatic fever.
