Santi Posted March 21, 2010 Report Posted March 21, 2010 What exactly is the difference between ASO and ANTIDANSE B antibodies? How do they relate to one another? My son's ASO went down quite a bit on abx but his ANTIDNASE B stayed the same. Any thoughts? Andrea

Anti DNAse is a measure of antibody directed at self cells- indicates harmful autoimmune activity.

Andrea The ASO measurement detects signs that your body has reacted/is reacting to Group A Streptococci bacteria. The anti-DNase test measures antibody production to a different substance, also from Group A Streptococcus. These are two of three tests usually done together to determine if there has been a recent, or a past Strep infection.

dut Posted March 21, 2010 Report Posted March 21, 2010 Hi - both ASO and anti DNaseB are antibodies produced in response to exotoxins of streptoccocus this link is a good discussion of ASO, antiDNaseB and PANDAS http://www.latitudes.org/forums/index.php?...st=0#entry29305
dee45 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Posted March 21, 2010 My sons antidnaseb is >1360 while on Augmentin does this mean the antibiotic is not working and should we switch--last level was 960 now up to greater than 1360 I am confused. Deanna
