A modified method of estimating the antistreptolysin O titre (A.S.O.) is described. The A.S.O. of 279 sera from normal children under 5 years of age is recorded, together with that of 40 children over 5 years of age. The results show a range much lower than that found in adults and older children and are discussed with respect to estimations made in children with proven infections. The significance of these findings is discussed.
本文描述了一种改良的抗链球菌溶血素O滴度(A.S.O.)估计方法。记录了279名5岁以下正常儿童血清的A.S.O.,以及40名5岁以上儿童血清的A.S.O.。结果显示其范围远低于成人和大龄儿童,文中结合对确诊感染儿童的检测结果进行了讨论,并探讨了这些发现的意义。
