  • Title: Evaluation of streptozyme and antistreptolysin O tests in streptococcal pyodermal nephritis.
    Author: Bergner-Rabinowitz S, Ofek I, Fleiderman S, Zohar M, Rabinowitz K, Ginsburg I.
    Journal: Appl Microbiol; 1973 Jul; 26(1):56-8. PubMed ID: 4726832.
    Abstract:
    The evaluation of the streptozyme test in sera from 34 patients with streptococcal pyodermal nephritis was studied. Ninety-seven percent of the patients developed high titers of antistreptozyme antibodies on the first bleeding after hospitalization, in contrast to only 40% of patients who developed elevated antistreptolysin O titers. The high antistreptozyme titers declined during convalescence and reached normal levels in the sixth month after onset of the disease. The most significant fall in titers occurred between 1 and 2 months from the onset of disease. The streptozyme test may be particularly helpful as a rapid screening test for antibodies in streptococcal pyodermal nephritis.
