About Dengue NS1 Antigen Test

Dengue NS1 Antigen Test is based on an antigen released into the blood during early stages of dengue infection called NS1 protein. The NS1 antigen test is one of the most effective tests for early diagnosis of dengue as compared to the antibody test, which depends upon the immune response. NS1 antigen detection can be done from Day 1 to Day 5 post-onset of fever. Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy's novel immunoassay technology offers an accurate, reliable NS1 antigen test that can help identify dengue early.

What is a Dengue NS1 Antigen Test?

One Dengue virus test available is called the Dengue NS1 Antigen Test, which is used to diagnose Dengue virus in the early phase of infection. It is particularly helpful in patients who have recently developed symptoms like high fever, headache, and muscle or joint pain, along with rashes on their skin. When clinically warranted, the test may be requested in combination with Dengue IgM and Dengue IgG antibodies to help to give a complete picture of Dengue infection.

Common Reasons for a Dengue NS1 Antigen Test

  • High fever of recent onset
  • Suspected dengue infection
  • Severe headache
  • Muscle and joint pain
  • Pain behind the eyes
  • Skin rash
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Early evaluation during dengue outbreaks
