Antistreptococcal antibody titres in the serum of school children in Auckland.
Geometric mean titres for serum antistreptococcal antibodies in a group of 12-year-old Auckland children are presented. The mean titres did not change over a period of 12 months in paired samples. The values obtained are similar to published figures from other parts of the world, suggesting the techniques used provide comparable data.
