An Antistreptolysin O (ASO) Antibody Test looks for antibodies your body makes after a strep infection. Many labs call it an ASO titer or antistreptolysin O titer. If your doctor ordered this, you can book at participating labs on LabFinder.
Some providers list it as ASO antibodies or antistreptolysin O titer. It checks your blood for antibodies to a toxin made by group A strep. Levels can help show if you had a recent strep infection that may be linked to symptoms in the heart, kidneys, joints, or skin.
Common reasons: follow up after suspected or confirmed strep throat or scarlet fever, check causes of joint pain, rash, or fever, look into possible rheumatic fever, or check kidney concerns after a sore throat or skin infection. Your doctor may pair this with other tests for a clearer picture.
You will check in and confirm your order. A phlebotomist cleans your arm and takes a small blood sample. A bandage is placed and you can head out. Most visits take about 10 to 20 minutes from arrival to finish.
Yes, this is a quick, routine blood draw and is considered very safe. You might feel a quick pinch, notice a small bruise, or feel a little lightheaded for a moment afterward, but those effects usually fade quickly. Be sure to tell the staff if you take blood thinners, have a bleeding disorder, or if you have fainted during blood draws before. They will take extra care to keep you comfortable.
Ask about fasting: most people do not need to fast, but follow your doctor’s note. Hydrate normally: water helps with the draw. Avoid a very heavy meal right before: simple meals are fine. Tell the team about recent antibiotics: treatment timing can affect antibody levels. Bring prior results and a medication list: this helps your doctor compare trends.
Recent strep throat or scarlet fever, rheumatic fever, post strep kidney inflammation, ongoing joint pain after a sore throat, and strep skin infections like impetigo. Results are interpreted in context. Your doctor will review your numbers along with your history and symptoms before suggesting next steps.
You can compare locations, see time slots, and book online at participating labs. It is easy to search for a convenient location in your area or by city or ZIP. Coverage varies by plan and provider, so check your benefits or ask the lab when you book.
