How long do i need to wait after stopping antibiotics to do an aso titer test for strep for it to be accurate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why the test ?: Strep is confirmed by office culture or quick test at the time of diagnosis. An ASO titer adds little if any information and may give equivocal results. Adults or older kids can have elevated ASO titers on random draw.
