The Anti-Streptolysin O (ASO) slide test is a rapid diagnostic assay used to detect the presence of antibodies against streptolysin O, a toxin produced by streptococcus bacteria. This test is typically used to identify recent streptococcal infections, such as strep throat or rheumatic fever. Unlike the quantitative method, the slide test provides a qualitative result, indicating whether the ASO antibodies are present at a significant level. The test is performed using a small blood sample and provides quick results, aiding healthcare providers in diagnosing streptococcal infections and guiding further evaluation or treatment.
