Can medications affect dengue test results?

Most medications do not affect the Dengue ELISA test results directly. However, certain medications, particularly those that suppress the immune system, such as corticosteroids or immunosuppressants, can potentially alter the immune response and antibody production, which may affect the test results. It is important to inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs, supplements, and herbal remedies, as this information can help in accurately interpreting the test results. If there is a concern that medications might interfere with the test, your healthcare provider may consider additional diagnostic methods to ensure an accurate diagnosis.
