title: Antistreptolysin O titers of cats infected with Brugia malayi and with streptococci.
abstract: This study evaluated the usefulness of determining antistreptolysin O(ASO) titers in filariasis. The ASO titers were elevated in most convalescence sera, but did not reflect comparable pathology resulting from dual Brugia-streptococcal infections in cats.
