Does positive ASLO link to false positive ANA?

A positive anti-streptolysin O (ASLO) titer can sometimes be associated with a false positive antinuclear antibody (ANA) test. This is because both tests can reflect underlying inflammatory processes or infections, which may lead to nonspecific antibody production. However, a positive ASLO is more directly related to streptococcal infections, while ANA is typically associated with autoimmune disorders. Therefore, while there can be a link, it is not a definitive or common occurrence.
