Dengue screening profile
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral infection transmitted by the Aedes mosquito. It can cause high fever, severe body pain, and other serious complications if not diagnosed early. The Dengue Screening Profile (ELISA) helps detect dengue infection accurately through advanced laboratory testing.
At House of Lab Test, we provide reliable dengue screening using ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) technology, which is known for its high accuracy in detecting dengue virus antigens and antibodies.
Tests Included in Dengue Screening Profile
Dengue NS1 Antigen (ELISA)
The NS1 antigen test detects dengue virus proteins in the blood during the early stage of infection, usually within the first few days of fever. It helps in early diagnosis of dengue.
Dengue IgM Antibody (ELISA)
The IgM antibody test detects antibodies produced by the immune system during a recent dengue infection. IgM antibodies generally appear a few days after infection.
Dengue IgG Antibody (ELISA)
The IgG antibody test identifies antibodies that develop later in the infection or after previous dengue exposure. It helps determine past infection or secondary dengue infection.
Symptoms of Dengue Fever
You should consider dengue screening if you experience the following symptoms:
• Sudden high fever
• Severe headache
• Pain behind the eyes
• Muscle and joint pain
• Skin rash
• Nausea or vomiting
• Fatigue and weakness
• Low platelet count
Early testing helps prevent serious complications.
