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
Conditions Evaluated
Early Dengue Infection
Detects dengue virus infection during the initial phase of illness before antibodies are produced.
Acute Dengue Fever
Helps confirm active dengue infection in patients with recent onset of symptoms.
Dengue Virus Infection
Supports the diagnosis of dengue infection when interpreted with clinical findings and other laboratory investigations.
Febrile Illness Evaluation
Assists in distinguishing dengue fever from other causes of acute fever.

लक्षणों की अवधि के अनुसार डॉक्टर डेंगू IgM और डेंगू IgG जांच भी कराने की सलाह दे सकते हैं।
डॉक्टर द्वारा दिए गए सभी निर्देशों का पालन करें।
निर्धारित समय से 10–15 मिनट पहले डायग्नोस्टिक सेंटर पहुँचें।
यदि आपको खून बहने की समस्या है या आप ब्लड थिनर दवाएँ ले रहे हैं, तो जांच से पहले लैब को अवश्य बताएं।
A trained healthcare professional will clean the skin over a vein in your arm with an antiseptic.
A sterile needle will be inserted into the vein to collect a blood sample.
The blood sample will be collected into a sterile collection tube.
After the sample is collected, the needle will be removed, and gentle pressure will be applied to the puncture site.
The sample will be labelled and sent to the laboratory for Dengue NS1 Antigen analysis using advanced immunoassay techniques.
The entire blood collection procedure usually takes only a few minutes.
