What is Dengue NS1 Antigen?

This test detects the NS1 antigen, a protein produced by the dengue virus, which appears in the blood early in the infection. It is a key marker for diagnosing acute dengue fever in its initial stages.

Why is this test important?

The NS1 antigen can be detected as early as day 1 of fever and up to day 9, making it highly valuable for early diagnosis before antibodies develop. Early detection allows for prompt medical management and helps prevent severe complications of dengue.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
