Your aso titer level is 400 iul and your age was 29 yrs is this a serious problem in future and what care should you take?

When the body is infected with the bacteria streptococci, it produces antibodies to combat the various antigens that the streptococci will produce. One such antibody is the anti-streptolysin O or ASO to attack the antigen streptolysin O whose main purpose is to break open the red blood cells to cause hemolysis. The ASO titer test can determine a raised or rising level of ASO which can indicate a past or present infection, and a normal level value is around 200 units. When ASO levels are high, chances are the individual is infected with streptococcus which is signaled by a soar throat leading to more serious conditions such as rheumatic fever, scarlet fever, and disorder of the kidneys. Steps to take to prevent streptococci infections are; avoid people with soar throats or known to have strep throats, wash hands frequently after using items which may harbor the bacteria, don't share food or drinks with a sick individual.
