ASO Test (Antistreptolysin O) and its Function

Antistreptolysin-O titers are blood tests to determine if you are at risk for developing an infection caused by the bacteria A streptococcus. This bacteria can cause mild strep, skin and soft tissue infections like acute pharyngitis, impetigo and cellulitis. Other more serious diseases include more acute versions of the same diseases that can be painful. Strep A infections are communicable diseases that can spread via mucus or skin contact with open sores and wounds.

Conditions that may require ASO Test (Antistreptolysin O)

Antistreptolysin-O Titer Test

The ASO titer test determines if you have previously had an A streptococcus-related infection, or if you presently have one. The test determines the levels of Antistreptolysin-O cells in your body - these are antibodies that fight strep infections. The normal range of these antibodies is below 200, and below 100 in children of less than 5 years of age. Higher levels can indicate an infection, either presently or in the past.

Interpreting ASO Test (Antistreptolysin O) Results

Typically, a normal range is considered to be less than 200 international units per milliliter (IU/mL). A positive ASO test result indicates the presence of elevated levels of ASO antibodies in the blood. This suggests a recent or previous streptococcal infection, particularly with group A Streptococcus bacteria. The elevation in ASO antibody levels occurs a few weeks after the infection and may persist for several months before gradually declining.
