What does an elevated anti-streptococcal antibody titer mean? is this bad for my child?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: This means your child had a previous strep infection and had an immune respone which is a good thing. The elevation does tell us when the infection was active.So rely on what symptoms your child has and ask advice of your doctor.
