Frequently Asked Questions
What does Dengue IgM quantitative test measure?
It measures the level of IgM antibodies produced against Dengue virus, indicating recent or acute infection, typically detectable from day 5 onwards after symptom onset.
Is fasting required for this test?
No, fasting is not required for Dengue IgM quantitative testing.
When is the best time to collect the sample?
The optimal window is from day 5 to day 21 after fever onset, as IgM antibody levels rise and peak during this period.
What does a positive quantitative IgM result mean?
A positive result indicates recent Dengue virus infection. Higher quantitative values suggest active immune response, while low positives may require follow-up testing after 7-10 days.
How is the result interpreted?
Results are interpreted alongside clinical symptoms and may be confirmed with NS1 antigen or IgG testing to determine the stage and type of Dengue infection.
