Hello.

Anti DNAse-B is a test for detection of streptococcal throat infection. He should have less than 170 Todd units/mL of the levels. Since he has a positive test result, he is probably infected with the streptococcal antigens.

Gte him assessed for kidney functions to rule out Post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis.
