Elevation of the antistreptolysin O titer occurs after around 10 days of illness.
2.
:Do you mean Antistreptolysin O titre?
3.
Diagnosis may be made on clinical findings or through antistreptolysin O antibodies found in the blood.
4.
An increase in antistreptolysin O ( ASO ) streptococcal antibody titer 3 6 weeks following the acute infection can provide retrospective evidence of GABHS infection and is considered definitive proof of GABHS infection.
5.
This may include a full blood count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate ( ESR ), antistreptolysin-O ( ASO ) titer and throat culture, urinalysis, intradermal tuberculin test, and a chest x-ray.
6.
Serologically, diagnostic markers can be tested; specifically, the streptozyme test is used and measures multiple streptococcal antibodies : antistreptolysin, antihyaluronidase, antistreptokinase, antinicotinamide-adenine dinucleotidase, and anti-DNAse B antibodies.
