ANTI STREPTOLYSIN - O (ASO) TITRE (Qualitative)
Only ₹250

The Anti Streptolysin O (ASO) Test is a blood test used to measure the level of antibodies produced by the immune system in response to Streptococcus bacteria, particularly Group A Streptococcus. It helps determine whether a person has had a recent streptococcal infection, such as strep throat or a skin infection.
The ASO test is commonly recommended for patients with symptoms or complications that may develop after a streptococcal infection, including rheumatic fever, joint pain, kidney inflammation (post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis), or unexplained fever. The test helps doctors confirm a recent streptococcal infection and supports the diagnosis when interpreted alongside clinical symptoms and other laboratory investigations.
