Patient's question:
The doctor had a physical examination at the unit a few days ago. I was diagnosed with elevated anti-streptolysin O. What illness is this? What caused it? Is it serious? How serious is it? Do I need immediate treatment? Doctor, what should I do? I'm very upset.Doctor's answer:
Upon careful examination, it was found that the level of anti-streptolysin O was high, which could be a symptom caused by streptococcal infection. It is advisable to use drugs that suppress streptococci for treatment based on specific symptoms for a period of time. If it further increases, there is a possibility of recurring diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, and it is necessary to closely monitor the symptoms and implement treatment accordingly.
