Anti Streptolysino ASO Titres Test
Introduction
The Anti Streptolysino ASO Titres Test is a vital diagnostic tool used to detect the presence of antibodies against streptolysin O, a toxin produced by the streptococcus bacteria. This test is essential in identifying infections that may lead to serious health complications, such as rheumatic fever and post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis. Early detection allows for timely intervention and management of these conditions.
What the Test Measures
This test measures the level of antibodies (ASO) in the blood that the body produces in response to streptococcus infections. Elevated ASO titres indicate a recent streptococcal infection, which can manifest in various forms, including throat infections and skin infections.
Who Should Consider This Test
Individuals experiencing symptoms such as:
- Sore throat
- Fever
- Skin rashes
- Joint pain or swelling
are advised to consider this test. Additionally, those with a history of rheumatic fever or recurrent streptococcal infections should also consult their physician about testing.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Helps in diagnosing streptococcal infections early.
- Guides appropriate treatment plans to prevent complications.
- Provides peace of mind for patients experiencing symptoms.
Understanding Your Results
Results are typically available within a day. Normal ASO levels indicate no recent streptococcal infection, while elevated levels suggest a recent infection. It is important to discuss your results with a healthcare professional to understand their implications and the next steps.
