Pediatrician,  's  Response
no it is not viral fever which causes increase in aso titre. ASO titre is increase in response to strepticoccal infection. muscle pain with increase in ESR is common in viral fever but your child has increase in ASO titre and he is getting injection penicilin this is some thing suggesting streptococcal infection. kindly get evaluated for this by throat swab culture , anti DNA es and C3 level . ten days course of peniclin is recommended to limit spread of nephrogenic strain of streptococcal infection. strepoccal skin infection can cause renal complication after 3-4 week so watch for decreased urine output, facial puffiness and hypertension which comletely recover in 95% case when managed on time. thanx
