About the Test
The Antistreptolysin O Titre measures antibodies your body produces after an infection with group A streptococcus bacteria, the germs behind strep throat and some skin infections. A rising or raised level suggests a recent streptococcal infection and can help explain complications such as rheumatic fever or certain kidney problems that appear weeks after the original illness. It is often ordered when someone has joint pains, a recent sore throat or unexplained inflammation, and results are usually reviewed against symptoms and repeat testing.
What is it? Antistreptolysin O Titre (also called ASO, ASOT or ASO titre) is a blood test that measures antibodies against a toxin made by group A streptococcus bacteria.

How to prepare for the Antistreptolysin O Titre test
No fasting is required for this test. If your doctor wants to see whether antibody levels are rising or falling, they may ask for a repeat sample after one to two weeks, so keep any follow-up appointment.
Understanding your Antistreptolysin O Titre results
A raised or rising titre suggests a recent streptococcal infection, while a low level makes it less likely, though a single normal result does not fully rule it out. Because levels change over time, your doctor may compare two samples before drawing conclusions. Your report is ready in 7 days.

A high level suggests you have recently had a group A streptococcal infection. It does not pinpoint where or how severe it is, so your doctor interprets it alongside your symptoms and history.
No fasting is needed. You can eat and drink normally, and there is no special timing for this test unless your doctor is comparing samples over time.
Antibody levels rise and fall after infection. A second sample a week or two later shows whether the titre is climbing or settling, which is often more informative than a single reading.
No. It provides supporting evidence of a recent strep infection, but rheumatic fever is diagnosed clinically using several criteria. Your doctor will use the result as one part of that assessment.
