Parent with High DNASE B Antibody

[NewBeginnings]

I have noticed my son's symptoms seem to settle a little when my husband travels for work, so last Friday he went and was tested for strep. Just got the results today and his ASO titer is normal but his DNASE B is high.

 

Could this be contributing to our son's symptoms? I don't really understand what the DNASE B means or what we need to do from here.

 

We are in between Dr's and are flying blind here. I'd really appreciate any advice. Thank you!
