Elevated Titers

[Ebersolk]

We just had some titers checked in the family. Here they are:

 

22 yr old daughter 38.5 (ASO), 1:680 (antidnase

Husband 232.9 (ASO), 1:340 (antidnase

me: 87.3 (ASO), 1:240 (antidnase

 

I am going to send to Dr. B who is daughter's treating dr.

 

Any information you can give me on importance of treating everyone in house and testing everyone would be appreciated or any thoughts on #s. Thanks!

Hi Kerri, What are the reference ranges for the ASO titer. It looks like your husbands might be elevated.

1-200 normal for ASO

 

less 85 value for titers (antidnaseb)

My husband and I were about 250 on the antiDnase-B and Dr. B wondered if it was our baseline or something to do with the lab. HE may not end up feeling it's a problem even though it's somewhat out of the range.
