Dengue NS1 Antigen Test - Book at Affordable Price

The Dengue NS1 Antigen Test detects the dengue virus's non-structural protein component (NS1). This protein is produced in the bloodstream during dengue infection and can be seen within the first seven days of symptoms. As a result, this test aids in the early detection and treatment of dengue fever. Dengue fever is characterized by rapid high temperature, tiredness, and flu-like symptoms as the first signs.

If not treated, viruses can lead to more severe forms like Dengue hemorrhagic fever or Dengue shock syndrome.

Hemorrhagic fever is one of the most common causes of severe illness and mortality in children. Although there is no specific therapy for dengue, persons with the more dangerous dengue hemorrhagic fever can be saved with proper medical care.
