High antistreptolysin O titer is associated with coronary artery lesions in patients with Kawasaki disease
Dong Eun Min, Do Hee Kim, Mi Young Han, Sung Ho Cha, Kyung Lim Yoon
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2019;62(6):235-239.   Published online November 7, 2018

Purpose: In Kawasaki disease (KD) patients, coronary artery complications, incomplete and refractory types occur more frequently in patients with streptococcal or other bacterial/viral infections. Recently, we observed a higher incidence of coronary lesions in KD patients with high anti-streptolysin O (ASO) titer. Therefore, we hypothesized that KD patients diagnosed with concurrent streptococcal infection have poor prognosis, with respect to treatment...
Normal antistreptolysin O titers of children by age group in the Gyeonggi-Incheon region
Jihun Lee, Yoo Jung Kim, Joong Hyun Bin, Ja Young Hwang, Seong Hoon Hahn, So Young Kim, Hyun Hee Kim, Wonbae Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2007;50(10):965-969.   Published online October 15, 2007
Purpose : Measurement of antistreptolysin O (ASO) is often necessary to confirm a clinical diagnosis of recent streptococcal infection, especially in patients suspected of rheumatic fever and acute glomerulonephritis. Standard normal ranges for ASO should be established locally for each age group. We analyzed ASO to determine the upper limit of normal (ULN) ASO in children in the Gyeonggi-Incheon area. Methods...
The Correlation between a Semi-quantitative ASO(Antistreptolysin O) Assay by Rantz-Randall and a Quantitative ASO Assay by Nephelometry
Sung-Keun Park, Seok-Hee Ahn, Jung-Woo Lee, Byoung-Soo Cho, Sung-Ho Cha, Yong-Mook Choi
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1997;40(12):1670-1674.   Published online December 15, 1997
Purpose : Accurate diagnosis and prompt treatment of infection with Streptococcus pyogenes (group A streptococci) is required as it may cause many complications, and chronic serious sequelae, acute rheumatic fever and acute glomerulonephritis. Recently, the assay methods of ASO concentration tend to be changed into quantitatively from semi-quantitative or qualitative methods in this country. We would like to know relationships and degree of concurrences between...
Relationship between Antistreptolysin O Titer and Number of Colonies from Throat Swab Culture Plate in Group A Beta-hemolytic Streptococcal Carriers and Normal School Children
Sungho Cha
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1997;40(4):480-488.   Published online April 15, 1997
Purpose : To know the true carrier rate and the immunologic responses(antistreptolysin O :ASO) to beta-hemolytic streptococci which obtained from normal school children with or without carrying streptococci. And to study the clinical meaning of the number of organisms found in culture. Methods : One hundred ninty-eight first grade of elementary school children were included. I obtained throat swab culture from...
Upper Limit of Normal Value for Antistreptolysin O Titer of Healthy Children in Seoul
Sung Ho Cha, Yong Mook Choi, Sei Won Yang, Dong Hwan Lee, Chong Guk Lee, Chang Ho Hong
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1995;38(8):1061-1068.   Published online August 15, 1995
Purpose : We have found somewhat high titer of antistreptolysin O (ASO) accidentally when we had delineated normal carrier rate of beta hemolytic streptococci in rural area of Kangwon Province in 1991(1). We would like to know upper limit of normal value of ASO and re-valuated results which might be changed with different geographic areas, age, and prevalent rate...
