MCQ IN MEDICINE

Detailed explanation-1: -Positive ASO test confirms past infection; thus it’s useful to support the diagnosis of the poststreptococcal illness when it’s suspected, like poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis, pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcus (PANDAS), and rheumatic fever.

Detailed explanation-2: -Generally, an ASO test value below 200 is considered normal. In children under the age of 5, the test value should be less than 100. Results will vary by laboratory. If your results show that you have an elevated ASO value, you may have a post-streptococcal complication.
