Brief Description

Streptococci are responsible for a variety of infections, including acute pharyngitis and other manifestations as glomerulonephritis, rheumatic fever, bacterial endocarditis and scarlet fever. Antibodies against streptolysin O are detectable one week to one month after a streptococcal infection. Laboratory results should always be interpretated in conjunction with other clinical findings.
