People with seronegative RA do not have high levels of the antibodies currently tested for in RA blood tests. However, as with seropositive RA, it responds to treatment that affects the immune system, suggesting it is an autoimmune disease.

I've been dealing with a throat infection for a month now, and I'm quite worried because my ASO titre levels are sitting at 600 UI. Can you help me understand what this means and suggest any treatments?

I am suffering from throat infection to one month.my aso titrelabel is 600ui.pls suggest treatment Based on your symptoms and ASO titre level, it seems like you may have a streptococcal throat infection. I recommend taking a course of antibiotics to treat the infection. You can take Amoxicillin 500mg three times a day for 7-10 days. Additionally, you can also take Ibuprofen 400mg every 6 hours as needed for pain and inflammation. Make sure to drink plenty of fluids and get plenty of rest to help your body recover.
