Dengue fever is an illness you can get from the bite of a mosquito carrying one of four types of dengue virus
This test is used for detecting non structural protein NS1 of dengue virus.
For patients presenting during the first week after fever onset, diagnostic testing should include a test for dengue virus (rRT-PCR or NS1) and IgM. For patients presenting more than a week after fever onset, IgM detection is most useful, although NS1 has been reported positive up to 12 days after fever onset
The NS1 diagnostic is highly effective in detecting dengue as early as possible.
Patients with a positive IgM test result are classified as presumptive, recent dengue virus infections.
