The correct answer is C

Antistreptolysin O antibodies will be raised after infection with streptococci. Levels greater than 200 units per millilitre are considered significant (although cut off levels will vary between laboratory undertaking the test).

Measurement can be useful diagnostically if recent infection with streptococci is known to be important in aetiology. Diseases include:

  • rheumatic fever
  • post streptococcal glomerulonephritis
  • scarlet fever
  • erysipelas
