What tests should be done in the case of a dengue fever?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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
Dr. Siri Suggests...
Take a MITOCHONDRIAL MUTATION DETECTION COMPREHENSIVE PANEL Test or Take a COMPREHENSIVE MYELOMA PROTEIN PANEL (IMMUNOFIXATION QUANTITATIVE) Test

Hello, I am a breastfeeding mother and currently suffering from dengue fever. I am experiencing body aches, high fever, fatigue, and weakness. My questions are: I heard that papaya leaf juice may help in dengue. Can I take this while breastfeeding? My blood pressure was 100/70 yesterday, is this a concern? I have not had a fever for the last 8 hours, but I still feel very weak and low on energy. My platelet count was 2.5 lakh and WBC 4600 on Monday, and on Tuesday it dropped to platelets 1.53 lakh and WBC 2300. How long does it usually take to recover from dengue and low platelets? Today is my 4th day of illness. I am taking plenty of fluids, including water, kiwi, and coconut water. I am currently on medications: Lenol ER, L Cin 500, rabeprazole sodium and domperidone dsr.
