How do i interpret the dengue test report?

Interpreting a Dengue ELISA test report should be done by a healthcare professional. The report typically includes the levels of IgM and IgG antibodies or the presence of NS1 antigen. A positive IgM result indicates a recent dengue infection, while a positive IgG result suggests past infection or secondary infection. A positive NS1 antigen test indicates an active dengue infection, particularly in the early stages. Negative results mean that no dengue-specific antibodies or antigens were detected, but this does not rule out early infection or other causes of symptoms. Borderline or equivocal results require further evaluation. Your healthcare provider will consider the test results along with your clinical symptoms, medical history, and potential exposures to provide an accurate diagnosis and guide treatment.
