Dengue NS1 Antigen (Rapid Test), Serum

Camp – Dengue NS1 Antigen (Rapid Test), Serum

Test Overview

The Camp – Dengue NS1 Antigen (Rapid Test) is an early screening test used to detect the Non-Structural Protein 1 (NS1) antigen of the dengue virus in serum. NS1 is released into the bloodstream during the initial phase of infection, making this test valuable for early diagnosis of dengue fever.

Why This Test is Done

• Early detection of dengue infection
• Evaluation of patients with acute fever suspected of dengue
• Helps differentiate dengue from other febrile illnesses such as malaria, chikungunya, and typhoid
• Supports timely medical intervention and monitoring

Symptoms That May Require Testing

• Sudden high fever
• Severe headache
• Pain behind the eyes
• Muscle and joint pain
• Nausea or vomiting
• Skin rash
• Fatigue and weakness
• Mild bleeding manifestations (gum bleeding, nosebleeds)

Sample Required

Specimen: Serum

Preparation

No fasting or special preparation is required.

Method

Rapid Immunochromatographic Assay (Rapid Card Test)

Interpretation of Results

Clinical Significance

• NS1 antigen can usually be detected from Day 1 to Day 7 of fever.
• Provides diagnosis before dengue antibodies (IgM/IgG) become detectable.
• Useful for early patient management and monitoring.

Limitations

• A negative result does not completely exclude dengue infection.
• Follow-up testing with Dengue IgM/IgG antibodies or molecular tests may be recommended when clinically indicated.
