An ASO titer of 260 is considered high and may indicate a recent streptococcal infection. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and appropriate management.
A low ASO titer may indicate a absence of a recent or current streptococcal infection. It may also be within the normal range for individuals who have not been recently exposed to streptococcal bacteria.
I would start of by consulting a hematologist as consistently high ASO titre can indicate rheumatoid arthritis.
titre is usually higher in old age.
PENICILLIN INJ IS THE BEST TREATMENT FOR {Group A}
A single titre value of above 200 iu ml is considered raised
IU (International Units)
A titer of 258.0 for anti-streptolysin O (ASO) is generally considered elevated, as normal levels typically range from 0 to 200 IU/mL, depending on the laboratory and reference values used. Elevated ASO titers can indicate a recent streptococcal infection. However, interpretation should be done in the context of clinical symptoms and other tests, so it's best to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate assessment.
ASO (Anti-streptolysin O) titers are raised in conditions such as streptococcal infections, rheumatic fever, and post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis. These conditions are typically associated with an immune response to Group A Streptococcus bacteria.
A normal ASO (anti-streptolysin O) test measures the level of antibodies produced in response to streptolysin O, a toxin produced by Group A Streptococcus bacteria. Typically, a normal ASO titer is considered to be below 200 U/mL, but reference ranges can vary by laboratory. Elevated levels may indicate a recent streptococcal infection, such as strep throat or scarlet fever. It's important to interpret ASO results in conjunction with clinical symptoms and other diagnostic tests.
