The Arkray ASO (Antistreptolysin O) Latex Agglutination Test is a diagnostic tool used to detect the presence of antibodies against Streptolysin O, an exotoxin produced by Group A Streptococcus bacteria. Elevated levels of ASO antibodies in the blood can indicate recent or current streptococcal infection, such as rheumatic fever or acute glomerulonephritis.
