Brief Answer:
ASO Titres

Detailed Answer:
Good evening

Thank you for writing on health care magic

Well, ANkylosing SPondylitis and ASO titres are totally not connected. The problem in XXXXXXX is ASO is measured for every person and since everyone had exposure to common cold/sore throat these titres can be high. Lot of patients receive treatment for high ASO which is not recommended.

As for high ASO, only thing I would recommend you is to get a 2 D echo done for the heart. If it is normal, dont worry about it. Concentrate on his Ankylosing Spondylitis which needs treatment.

Hope the information is useful

Do let me know for more queries
