Anti-Streptolysin-O (ASO)
Anti-streptolysin-O are specific antibodies to
streptolysin O, formed by an extracellular enzyme of group A ß-hemolytic
streptococci. Streptococci are responsible for a variety of infections,
including acute pharyngitis and other manifestations as glomerulonephritis,
rheumatic fever, bacterial endocarditis and scarlet fever. Antibodies against
streptolysin O are detectable one week to one month after a streptococcal
infection. Laboratory results should always be interpretated in conjunction
with other clinical findings.
Latex enhanced immunoturbidimetric test for the
quantitative determination of anti-streptolysin-O in human serum.
