About This Test

The Dengue NS1 antigen test is an early diagnostic blood test that detects the nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) antigen of the dengue virus during the acute phase of infection, often within the first 1-7 days of symptom onset. Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne viral disease causing high fever, severe headache, muscle and joint pain, and rash. Detecting NS1 antigen allows early confirmation of infection before antibodies appear, enabling prompt clinical management and reducing complications like dengue hemorrhagic fever and shock syndrome. The test uses an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique for high sensitivity and specificity. A blood sample is required, and no fasting is necessary. Early detection allows timely intervention, monitoring, and public health response to control outbreaks. Raktim Medical Diagnostic provides home sample collection with advanced ELISA testing and swift, precise results to assist in dengue diagnosis and care
