Test Parameters Included
* NS1 Antigen: A non-structural protein of the dengue virus, NS1 is detectable in the blood during the acute phase of infection, often within the first day of fever onset and typically for up to 5-7 days. Its early presence helps in rapid diagnosis during the initial stages of illness. * IgM Antibodies: These antibodies are usually detectable from about 3-5 days after the onset of fever and typically persist for several weeks to months. Their presence indicates a recent or primary dengue infection. * IgG Antibodies: These antibodies appear later than IgM, typically around 7-10 days after fever onset, and can persist for years, providing long-term immunity. Their presence, especially without IgM or NS1, might indicate a past infection, while a rise in IgG alongside IgM suggests a secondary (recurrent) dengue infection, which carries a higher risk of severe dengue.

Methodology
ELISA Quantitative : This test employs the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) technique, a highly sensitive and specific method for the quantitative detection of specific viral antigens and antibodies in blood samples. For dengue diagnosis, ELISA is utilized to simultaneously measure NS1 antigen (an early marker of infection) and Dengue-specific IgM and IgG antibodies, providing a comprehensive view of the patient's infection status and stage.
