The Anti Streptolysin-O (ASO) Titre (Qualitative) test is a blood test that detects antibodies against Streptolysin-O, a toxin produced by Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A Streptococcus) bacteria. The presence of these antibodies indicates a recent or previous streptococcal infection and helps confirm exposure when other laboratory evidence is not available. This test is commonly used in the evaluation of complications that may occur after a streptococcal throat or skin infection.

The ASO Titre test is recommended for individuals with persistent sore throat, fever, joint pain, unexplained swelling, or symptoms suggestive of post-streptococcal complications such as rheumatic fever or post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis. No special preparation is required before sample collection. At Nidan Pathology Lab, we provide NABL-accredited testing, FREE home sample collection, advanced diagnostic technology, and accurate, timely reports, supporting the reliable diagnosis and management of streptococcal infections and their complications.
