My son's ASO titer is still high, mine is High as well

Interesting.. my kids are the opposite, including the one believed to be a carrier... my kids almost always rapid negative but then the culture is positive.

 

 

 

 

 

Both of my children kept getting positive rapids- so the ped began sending off cultures. They were tested over 20 times in a year time period and always had positive rapids and the majority of the times =negative cultures. The ped was so confused and sent us to an infectious disease dr. The ID dr. said it just meant they were carriers.

 

So, they were sending out for cultures on positive rapids? We only sent for cultures if the rapid was neg.

The tests were done by the dr. (pediatrician) that diagnosed my son with Pandas- so every time we went into the office for any reason she tested both kids for strep. Then the test ALWAYS came back positive. The dr. never had patients that always tested positive- so she began doing cultures. Well.....most of those came back negative (except for the few positive- when one obviously had strep throat). The pediatrician then referred us to an infections disease dr. who said they are carriers. That was years ago and both have had plenty of negative rapids - but they still get both tests done.
