Description
The Dengue Rapid Test is a quick diagnostic tool used to detect dengue infection caused by the Dengue virus. This test identifies dengue-specific NS1 antigen (for early-stage detection) and IgM/IgG antibodies (for later-stage or past infections) in the patient’s blood.
The procedure involves a small blood sample applied to a test strip or cassette containing reagents. Results are typically available within 15-30 minutes, making it a convenient method for early detection and management of dengue fever. It is widely used in clinical settings, especially in regions with dengue outbreaks.
