Clinical Overview

Clinical Summary: The Antistreptolysin O Titre (ASOT) test detects a recent infection caused by Group A Streptococcus bacteria. If left untreated, these infections can lead to complications like rheumatic fever.

What is the ASOT Test?

It measures the concentration of antibodies against streptolysin O, a toxin produced by the bacteria. It is often used to investigate the "after-effects" of a sore throat or skin infection.

Why get tested?

  • If you have joint pain or heart palpitations following a recent sore throat.
  • To screen for complications like Rheumatic Heart Disease.
  • Investigating post-streptococcal kidney inflammation (Glomerulonephritis).
