What should i do if i have a fever but the dengue test is negative?

If you have a fever but your Dengue ELISA test is negative, it is important to consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation. A negative result may indicate that you do not have a dengue infection, or it could mean that the test was done too early before antibodies or antigens became detectable. Your provider may recommend repeat testing, additional diagnostic methods such as PCR, or tests for other potential causes of fever. Common differential diagnoses include other viral infections, bacterial infections, and non-infectious causes of fever. Your provider will evaluate your symptoms, medical history, and potential exposures to determine the appropriate next steps.
