چکیده
Results ASOT January 2009December 2010 = 645 N° patients=359 N° ASOT’s >400 = 100 (28 %) Notes reviewed = 95/100 patients Where both ASOT and Anti DNAse B were performed simultaneously (No =194), results correlated in 88% Throat Swab performed in the group with ASOT >400 = 43/100 65 % patients with ASOT >400 were prescribed antibiotics Conclusions Nearly 1/5 of patients with positive streptococcal serology had a rheumatological diagnosis, suggesting it is a significant trigger in rheumatological conditions. This study highlights vigilance and alertness that patients with Streptococcal Infections may evolve or contribute to the development of a rheumatogical condition. There is a need for a consensus opinion on treatment and eradication of streptococcal infection.
