DENGUE NS1 ANTIGEN – ELISA

The dengue NS1 antigen ELISA test detects the presence of the NS1 antigen, a protein produced by the dengue virus, in the blood. This test is used to diagnose acute dengue infection, particularly during the early stages of the disease. A positive NS1 antigen test indicates active dengue infection, prompting immediate medical attention and supportive care to manage symptoms. The test is valuable for identifying dengue virus infections, guiding treatment decisions, and implementing public health measures to control outbreaks and prevent the spread of the virus. Early diagnosis helps reduce the risk of complications and ensures prompt care for affected individuals.
