This test is used for the quantitative detection of Dengue Virus NS1 antigen (ELISA) as an aid to the diagnosis of Acute Dengue infection. NS1 antigen is a nonstructural protein found in infected patients from 1st day of fever up to 5 days after the onset of fever. Dengue fever, a viral infection by nature, is transmitted to individuals through mosquito bites. In most cases, these mosquitoes belong to tropical or subtropical regions responsible for carrying the virus. That is why it is exceedingly rampant in the regions of Africa, the Caribbean Western Pacific, America and the Eastern Mediterranean. The dengue NS1 antigen (ELISA) test diagnoses dengue infection in the first few days itself. It is responsible for measuring the antibodies that are produced in response to dengue. This test allows for rapid detection, making it an extremely viable alternative to other dengue tests. The dengue NS1 antigen (ELISA) test can be prescribed to individuals showing symptoms and signs of dengue fever. Some of the symptoms include - Fever, Retro-orbital pain, Transient macular rash, Severe headache. Many individuals affected by the virus develop only mild symptoms. In some cases, affected individuals don’t show any symptoms. All the signs of the dengue virus only start showing after 4-7 days of being affected by an Aedes aegypti and albopictus mosquito. A dengue NS1 antigen test can also be prescribed if an individual is vomiting continuously or has swollen glands. When it comes to India, dengue is endemic in almost all regions. The DV-2 serotype is the most common dengue serotype in the country. Frequent dengue outbreaks in the country have a severe drain on the country’s economy and put stress on healthcare professionals. South states like Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil are some of the worst dengue affected states in the country. Apart from these, Rajasthan and Gujarat also witness high dengue spread every year.
