Wickedmaineah Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Our son has gone through 2 rounds of antibiotics. He finished the last antibiotics on June 21st. He had blood drawn on June 16th and July 14th. His numbers in June were ASO 389 and DNASE B 213. His numbers in July were ASO 375 and DNASE B 224. Anyone have any ideas why they are still so high and especially why the second one increased rather than decreasing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worried_Dad Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 As I understand it, ASO rises faster after a GAS infection (1-4 weeks) while anti-DNAse B rises later (6-8 weeks). So it makes sense that the ASO might begin to decline (with abx treatment) while the DNAse B is still on the way up (in theory - not much research published on the rate of titer decline). Here's a great thread of Buster's that discusses this in more detail: http://www.latitudes.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=3756&view=findpost&p=96918 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
