DENGUE NS1 Rapid Test Kit

NS1 tests diagnose the non-structural protein of the dengue virus. The protein that is veiled into the blood of a patient diagnosed with dengue infection. Through this test, the keen phase of the virus infection can be detected. This sensitive test can show the infection of 0-7 days. If you have attained this stage, then this test is not considered valid.

Positive NS1 result shows the presence of dengue infection in a human body but does not provide the entire information. Otherwise, serotype information is not necessary for the care of the infected person, but still this information matters.

Specimen

  • Serum or blood

Explanation of the test result

  • A positive result shows dengue virus infection without serotype data.
  • A negative NS1 test does not confirms any infection. People with negative results are tested in order to see the occurrence of dengue IgM antibodies.

These test kits are available commercially. Various laboratories and public health care centers utilize this DENGUE NS1 Rapid Test Kit.
