ASLO | Determination of antistreptolysin O

Quantification of antistreptolysin O (ASLO) - this indicator is useful for diagnosing rheumatism, glomerulonephritis, chronic tonsillitis and to find out whether the body has had contact with a streptococcal infection. After infection, ASLO titers begin to increase after 1 week, and peak concentrations occur after 3-6 weeks. In the absence of complications or reinfection, the ASO titer usually falls to pre-infection levels within 6 to 12 months.
