Anti Streptolysin O Rapid in Noida

Anti Streptolysin O (ASO) rapid is a method to detect Streptococcus bacterial infection in the body. It measures the amount of antibodies present against streptolysin O, a substance produced by group A Streptococcus bacteria. This test is recommended in case of symptoms such as fever, joint pain, rashes and shortness of breath. Early diagnosis helps in treatment with antibiotics but sometimes lack of symptoms or late diagnosis may lead to some complications such as rheumatic fever, glomerulonephritis (kidney disease) and bacterial endocarditis (heart inflammation).

A negative test during the initial weeks of infection does not always rule out the possibility of streptococcal infection. If the physician suspects the infection, he may recommend the test again after 2 weeks.
