Hi,
Thankyou for your quiry..
As ASO titre positive means previous infection of bacteria streptococcus pyogens and that infection can be in throat, skin or joints ..As ANA titre is tested to rule out any autoimmune disease that is negative so after completing course of pentid 400 , you may repeat the ASO titre which will be negative after few weeks.
