[Evaluation of the antistreptolysin antibody titer with a new method, correlated with other antistreptococcal antibodies].

The Authors have compared two methods (the new Aso Quantum method and the Rantz-Randall traditional method) for the assay of ASO antibodies testing about 2,000 blood samples in out laboratory. Particularly, the data of one hundred of these cases were correlated also to the values of the Streptozyme test, and other parameters of the rheumatology diagnostics. The Authors, considering the final data, think this new method can be applied successfully in the routine of a laboratory.
