Spanish term or phrase: ASTO Fiebre Reumática
Una parte del contenido de un certificado médico dice así:


Si las siglas ASTO quieren decir simplemente "Fiebre Reumática", alguien me podría decir por favor ¿cuáles son las siglas en inglés para Rheumatic Fever? ¿Es acaso ASTO un tipo de fiebre Reumática?
Muchas gracias.

antistreptolysin-O (ASTO or ASO)
Explanation:
"An antistreptolysin-O (ASO) test is a blood test that measures the amount of ASO in the blood. ASO is an antibody generated by the body in response to infection by a specific type of bacteria called Group A streptococci. Normal ASO levels can “ward off” minor streptococcal infections, but a serious strep infection will cause ASO levels to rise significantly. Therefore, a physician may order an ASO test to determine whether the person has a condition (e.g., endocarditis or rheumatic fever) related to a serious strep infection."
