The Dengue NS1 Card Test quickly detects dengue infection, allowing for early diagnosis and timely care.
The Dengue NS1 Card Test is a rapid diagnostic test used to detect the NS1 antigen of the dengue virus in the blood. The NS1 antigen is a protein produced by the virus early in infection and is typically detectable within the first 1-7 days of symptoms, making it an essential tool for early diagnosis. This rapid test is especially useful in healthcare settings where immediate results are needed, helping guide prompt management and treatment of dengue fever.
The Dengue NS1 Card Test detects the presence of the NS1 antigen quickly, helping to:
Confirm dengue infection at an early stage: The test can detect the NS1 antigen in the blood during the early phase of infection, often before antibodies appear.
Differentiate from other infections: Dengue symptoms are similar to other tropical illnesses, such as malaria or chikungunya. The NS1 Card Test provides an efficient method to confirm dengue, allowing for appropriate treatment.
Support early intervention: Timely diagnosis can help prevent severe complications like dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) or dengue shock syndrome (DSS) by allowing immediate supportive care.
The Dengue NS1 Card Test is recommended for individuals experiencing symptoms of dengue fever, especially those in dengue-prone areas or with recent exposure to dengue-endemic regions. Symptoms to watch for include High fever and severe headache, Pain behind the eyes, joint and muscle pain, Fatigue, nausea, vomiting, Skin rash, and bleeding tendencies. This test is best used within the first week of symptoms when the NS1 antigen is most detectable.

Results are available within 15-30 minutes, making it an efficient tool for rapid dengue diagnosis.
No special preparation is needed, but patients should inform healthcare providers of any medications that might affect the results.
The test is most effective within the first 1-7 days of infection. After this period, antibody tests (like IgM and IgG) are often recommended.
The NS1 Card Test provides rapid results but may be less sensitive than the NS1 ELISA, which is a laboratory-based test with higher accuracy.
