Streptococcus Antibodies Profile

About the Test

The Streptococcus Antibodies Profile screens for the two most common antibodies against Streptococcus to identify a previous infection of group A beta-hemolytic Streptococcus. These antibodies may cross-react with brain tissue, causing abnormal behaviors and leading to diseases such as rheumatic fever, glomerulonephritis, scarlet fever, PANDAS, and autism.
