This is a serologic test, known as anti-streptolysin O. It measures the quantity of antibody to a component of streptococcal bacteria. This test is useful in diagnosing scarlet fever, rheumatic fever and other streptococcal disease. Treatment would depend on which particular malady needs to be dealt with.
