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.
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.
The nearest cities to Mount Aso in Japan are Aso City and Kumamoto City. Aso City is located at the base of the mountain, while Kumamoto City is the capital of Kumamoto Prefecture and is located approximately 30 kilometers south of Mount Aso.
HTLA ANTIBODIES = High Titer Low AvidityA summary of these antibodies are as follows Not clinically significant, but serological reactions make them look like they areHigh Titer if the antibodies are titered. The titers are usually at least 1:64 and often will be over 1:1000Reactions are very weak and will break apart very readily due to the weak attraction between the antigens and antibodies (low avidity).These antibodies basically have a high titer but a very weak reaction. Some institutions actually score the strength of the antigen reaction in points which will allow them to differentiate some of the differences seen in various reactions.Score = strength of reaction given points or score4+ = 12 points3+ = 10 points2+ = 8 points1+ = 5 pointsneg = 0 pointsSpecific serologic characteristics of the HTLA antibodies are:IgGReact best in Coombs after 37oC incubationW+ to 1+ reactionsReact with most cells (antibodies to high-frequency antigens)Not clinically significant since they are not known to cause hemolytic disease of the newborn or hemolytic transfusion reactions. Since they are antibodies to high-frequency antigens they may mask clinically significant antibodies that are also in the serum.
The first documented eruption of Mount Aso was in 553. The last time it erupted (as of 2014) was in 1993.
6 people have died by the volcanic activities of Mt. Aso so far. :)

yes
my age is above 30 and i'm suffering in high aso titer and shootingly pain in ain all my big and small joints and i feel pain in my heart
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.
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

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.
At this time, only two chickenpox vaccines are recommended in the series. A third vaccine isn't not recommended, even if the varicella titer indicates no reaction or insufficient titer levels. See related link for references.Another answer:Not all will be immune with two doses. A low titer may require a third dose.
No it is not. It is rather high. It may indicate recent streptococcal throat infect, erysepelas, Rhematic heart disease (rare nowadays) or post stretococcal acuteglomerulonephritis. Check with your doctor.
