Anti Streptolysin O Rapid Test in Kaushalya Medical Foundation Trust Hospital, Thane

Usually, the ASO levels are not detectable for at least a week after an infection, hence ASO tests are not used to diagnose a current acute infection. A throat culture or a rapid strep test is the best method to diagnose strep throat (streptococcal pharyngitis). It is utmost important that the strep throat be promptly identified and treated to avoid complications and passing the infection onto others.
