Antistreptolysin O Titer Archived 2013-03-21 at the Wayback Machine - medterms.com. (wikipedia.org)
Antistreptolysin O (ASO) titer is a blood test to measure antibodies against streptolysin O, a substance produced by group A streptococcus bacteria. (medlineplus.gov)
The antistreptolysin O titer measures the level of antistreptolysin O antibodies in the blood plasma. (medscape.com)
The highest titer reached were antistreptolysin O 2000 unit , DnasB 1900 unit, and antihyaluronidase 1024 unit. (pediatriconcall.com)
3) The diagnosis of isolated rheumatic fever was considered in our patient because of finding of very high anti-streptolysin O titre and lack of evidence of either viral disease, infection with group C and G streptococci or other cause of spuriously high titer of antistreptolysin O. (4). (pediatriconcall.com)
The erythrocyte sedimentation rate was 19 mm/h (normal range: 1-10 mm/h) and the antistreptolysin-titer was 352 IU/ml (normal value: −200 IU/ml). (hindawi.com)
Titre3
In two patients with a persisting, high antistreptolysin titre the antistreptolysin activity in both cases resided exclusively in a monoclonal IgG component in the serum. (bmj.com)
Whenever an extremely high antistreptolysin titre persists after antibiotic treatment the possibility of paraproteinaemia should be considered. (bmj.com)

Antibodies2
When the body is infected with one of the above groups (C, G, or A), it produces antibodies to the streptolysin O toxin, called antistreptolysin O or ASO. (medscape.com)
Supporting evidence to confirm streptococcal infection includes increased antistreptolysin-O or other streptococcal antibodies, throat culture positive for group A streptococcus, or recent scarlet fever. (cdc.gov)
Rheumatoid factor1
The rheumatoid factor (RF), antistreptolysin (ASO) and DAS28 scores of RA patients were derived from clinical sources. (biomedcentral.com)

Streptococcal antibody tests (eg, antideoxyribonuclease B [ADB] and antistreptolysin O [ASO] titers) are used to confirm previous group A streptococcal infection. (medscape.com)
