Test Code

A positive NS1 test result is indicative of a dengue virus infection. A negative NS1 test result does not rule out infection. People with negative NS1 and negative or unavailable RT-PCR test results should be tested for the presence of dengue IgM antibodies to determine possible recent dengue exposure.

NS1 antigen positivity is associated with a higher risk of developing severe dengue especially when positive beyond day 5 of illness in our cohort, and while further validation studies are required, the test can therefore potentially be used as a bedside point of care test as a warning sign of severe dengue.

Dengue NS1 Detect rapid test, is an immunochromatographic strip assay for qualitative presumptive detection of non-structural protein 1 (NS1). This test will aid in the early diagnosis of Dengue virus in human serum prior to the presence of IgM or IgG anitbodies.
