Antistreptolysin O (ASO) titer is a blood test to measure antibodies against streptolysin O, a substance produced by Group A Streptococcus bacteria. ASO titer; ASLO. Blood is typically drawn from a vein, usually from the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand.
This is especially true with glomerulonephritis that may develop after a skin strep infection. An elevated titer of antibody (positive ASO) or an ASO titer that is rising means that it is likely that the person tested has had a recent strep infection. ASO titers that are initially high and then decline suggest that an infection has occurred and may be resolving.
