HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I appreciate your concern, if the ASO is in normal range then no need to worry about this, because raised titration of ASO is the sign of staphylococcus infection and could be "Rheumatic fever", ESR is just associate finding and not the sole criteria, for Rheumatic fever, I actually follow the rule of ASO titer and the clinical sign and symptoms if this ate favorable then and then, I think about the Penicillin injection, hope this information helps you have nice day.
