"Upper limits of normal" antistreptolysin O and antideoxyribonuclease B titers.
"Upper limits of normal" antistreptolysin O (ASO) and antideoxyribonuclease (ADN) B titers were determined on serum specimens from various age groups of pediatric patients with no history of a recent streptococcal infection and on healthy adult hospital employees. The upper limit of normal value is that level of antibody titer exceeded by no more than 15% of the total subjects in each age group...
متن کاملEvaluation of beckman antistreptolysin O and antideoxyribonuclease B (ASO/ADB) test kit.
The Beckman antistreptolysin O kit agreed within one-dilution increment for 70% of the specimens tested. The antideoxyribonuclease B kit agreed within onedilution increment for 96% of the specimens tested.
متن کاملComparison of the streptozyme test with the antistreptolysin O, antideoxyribonuclease B, and antihyaluronidase tests.
The streptozyme test was compared with the antistreptolysin O (ASO), antideoxyribonuclease B (ADN-B), and antihyaluronidase (AH) tests. One hundred and twenty-seven human serum specimens were tested by each of the four tests. The streptozyme test detected more specimens with elevated titers than any single test; however, it was not as effective as the combination of the ASO and ADN-B tests. The...
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.
متن کاملAntistreptolysin O (ASO) titers and beta-haemolytic streptococcus (BHS) in Children in Calabar, Nigeria
This study investigated the prevalent ASO titer values and serogroups of BHS prevalent in the throat of apparently healthy children in Calabar with the aim of detecting the risk in the children of developing RF and RHD in their later years. The throats of 437 children drawn randomly from elementary schools in three communities in Calabar, Nigeria were examined and throat swabs collected. Fifty ...
