Antistreptolysin O Levels in Patients with Behcet's Disease.
OBJECTIVE Behcet's disease is a multisystem inflammatory disorder, and its etiology has not been defined clearly yet. In this study, we aimed to investigate the antistreptolysin O (ASO) levels of patients with Behcet's disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty patients with Behcet's disease and 30 healthy controls were enrolled in this study. We measured erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), seru...
متن کاملAntistreptolysin O titer in health and disease: levels and significance
Over diagnosis of acute rheumatic fever (ARF) based on a raised antistreptolysin O titer (ASOT) is not uncommon in endemic areas. In this study, 660 children (aged 9.2 ±1.7 years) were recruited consecutively and classified as: G1 (control group, n=200 healthy children), G2 (n=20 with ARF 1(st) attack), G3 (n=40 with recurrent ARF), G4 (n=100 with rheumatic heart disease (RHD) on long acting pe...
متن کاملAutomated microtitration test for antistreptolysin O.
A commercially available instrument that automatically makes serial dilutions and delivers reagents was used for the determination of antistreptolysin O titers in serum. The automated method was compared with tube-dilution and manual microtitration techniques. It gave higher reproducibility of results and was quicker to perform than both the other tests; and it was much more economical in reage...
متن کاملThe Serum Antistreptolysin Titer in Acute Glomerulonephritis.
This work on the level of an'tistreptolysin titer in the serum of patients with acute glomerulonephritis is part of a study being conducted by the Departments of Medicine and Pediatrics on the role of infection in acute and chronic glomerulonephritis. The literature and texts list the most heterogeneous types of infection (influenza, diphtheria, measles, the common cold, sore throat, exposure, ...
متن کاملPolyene antibiotics in assessing significance of antistreptolysin O activity.
Antistreptolysin O activity in serum is due either to antibody or to altered lipoprotein molecules. The latter can be inhibited by performing antistreptolysin tests using a polyene antibiotic such as amphotericin B as diluent.
