ASO and CRP Serum Level Correlation with Positive Beta Hemolytic Streptococcus Throat Cultures

Activity: Talk or presentation types › Poster presentation

Description

The aim of the study is to identify the increase of ASO and CRP levels in corelation with positive beta-hemolytic streptococcus throat culture.. ASO and CRP detection was made by Roche, Cobas Pro (c503) - Immunoturbidimetric assays.For microbiological examination, the test material was inoculated onto CNA media and identification of microorganisms was made using Bruker MALDI-TOF system.. From 01.01.2021 to 31.12.2022 951 throat samples were examinated.23,55% were positive for beta hemolytic Streptococcus.A group was identified 69,64%, 17,31% were tested also for CRP and ASO. 14,81% CRP and ASO were increased,but 33,33% CRP and ASO were in normal values,33,33% CRP was increased and ASO was normal, and 18,53% CRP was normal,but ASO was increased. B group was isolated 3,13%, it wasn’t tested for ASO, but in one case CRP was tested and it was increased.C group was isolated in 20.09%, 8,89% was tested also for CRP and ASO, 75% ASO was increased, but CRP was normal and 25% both markers were normal.G group was isolated 7,14%,ASO and CRP were tested in 6,25% , CRP was increased and ASO was normal.. ASO and CRP can’t be used as only markers for Streptococcus infection laboratory diagnostics. From 23,55% positive throat samples about 5% CRP and ASO levels were in normal ranges. So microbiological testing should stay as Gold standard for identification of beta hemolytic Streptococcus.
