Dengue Duo(ns1 Antigen ,igg & Igm Antibody)

The Dengue Duo test detects both NS1 antigen and IgG & IgM antibodies against the Dengue virus. It is used to diagnose Dengue fever, a viral infection transmitted by mosquitoes, and helps in identifying the stage of infection.

• It aids in the early diagnosis of Dengue, even in the first few days of infection when symptoms like high fever, rash, and muscle pain may appear.
• NS1 antigen helps in diagnosing acute infection, while the IgM antibodies indicate recent exposure to the virus.

• Individuals living in or traveling to regions with a high incidence of Dengue fever (tropical and subtropical areas).
• Those exhibiting Dengue symptoms such as fever, headache, joint pain, rash, and fatigue.
• At-risk populations, including children or elderly individuals, who may be at risk of developing severe forms of Dengue, like Dengue hemorrhagic fever.

Dengue is a significant public health concern, and diagnosing it early can help prevent complications. Treatment focuses on symptom management, as there is no specific antiviral treatment for Dengue.
