The ASO titer test can determine a raised or rising level of ASO which can indicate a past or present infection, and a normal level value is around 200 units. When ASO levels are high, chances are the individual is infected with streptococcus which is signaled by a soar throat leading to more serious conditions such as rheumatic fever, scarlet fever, and disorder of the kidneys.
