The Dengue (IgM, IgG, NS1) Card Test detects dengue antibodies and antigens, providing a comprehensive diagnosis of current or past infection.
The Dengue (IgM, IgG, NS1) Card Test is a rapid diagnostic tool designed to detect NS1 antigen as well as IgM and IgG antibodies against the dengue virus in the blood. The test is crucial for both early detection and stage assessment of dengue infection. NS1 antigen is typically detectable in the early stages, while IgM and IgG antibodies help identify later or past stages of infection, offering a comprehensive picture of the patient’s condition.
The Dengue (IgM, IgG, NS1) Card Test is a combined rapid test that:
1. Detects early infection: NS1 antigen is present in the blood during the first week of infection, allowing for early detection.
2. Determines infection stage: IgM antibodies appear around 4-5 days after the onset of symptoms, suggesting an ongoing infection, while IgG antibodies are typically detectable in later stages or indicate a past infection.
3. Assists in treatment decisions: The test helps determine whether the infection is in its early, active, or late phase, guiding appropriate treatment and monitoring.
This test is suitable for individuals presenting symptoms of dengue fever, particularly in areas where dengue is common. Typical dengue symptoms include High fever, severe headache, and body aches. Pain behind the eyes, nausea, and vomiting. Skin rash and signs of bleeding. Fatigue and general weakness. Testing is especially recommended for people who have traveled to or live in areas with recent dengue outbreaks.
