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 کاملUpper limit of normal antistreptolysin-O titer in healthy school children.
We studied the level of ASO (anti streptolysin O) titer and throat culture for GABHS (group A beta hemolytic streptococci) in 200 normal healthy school children between 5 to 15 years of age. We noted the upper limit of normal titer of 242 IU in the healthy school children around Mysore city. Throat culture was positive for GABHS in 9% of healthy school children indicating the carrier state.
