Dengue IgG & IgM

About This Package

Dengue IgG and IgM tests are blood tests used to diagnose and monitor dengue fever, a viral illness transmitted by mosquitoes. **Dengue IgM** antibodies are produced early in the course of dengue infection, typically detectable within 4-5 days after the onset of symptoms. Their presence indicates a recent or acute dengue infection. **Dengue IgG** antibodies are produced later, usually within 7-10 days after the onset of symptoms and can remain detectable for months or even years. The presence of IgG antibodies indicates either a past infection or a more recent infection if paired with IgM antibodies. The IgM and IgG tests help determine the timing of infection, distinguish between primary and secondary dengue infections, and assess the stage of the disease. These tests are crucial for diagnosing dengue fever, particularly in areas where the disease is endemic, and for differentiating dengue from other febrile illnesses.
