ASO

ASO

Determination of antistreptolysin O is performed when toxic and sensitising associated illnesses occur, such as rheumatic fever (major symptoms: carditis, polyarthritis, chorea minor, subcutaneous nodules, erythaema annulare) and poststreptococcal acute glomerulonephritis. Various methods are available for assaying antistreptolysin O, such latex agglutination and haemolysis inhibition.

Fortress Diagnostics manufactures ASO reagents designed for Hitachi 917, Olympus AU600/400/640/2700 and CA 180/270/400 Furuno/Daytona systems.
