What is DENGUE IGM QUALITATIVE?

This test detects IgM antibodies to the dengue virus, which are typically produced early in the course of an infection. A positive result suggests a recent or active dengue infection.

Why is this test important?

IgM antibodies are usually detectable within 3-5 days after the onset of symptoms and can remain elevated for several weeks. This test is crucial for diagnosing acute dengue infection, especially in the early stages when other markers might not yet be present.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
