The Dengue Screening Package is a series of tests designed to detect and monitor dengue fever, a mosquito-borne viral illness. Dengue fever typically begins with symptoms similar to flu such as high fever, severe headaches, and joint pain, but in some cases, it can progress to more serious conditions. This package includes the Dengue Profile test using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), which detects the presence of NS1 antigen and IgM and IgG antibodies in your blood, confirming whether you have dengue fever. This is especially critical in regions where the disease is prevalent. Additionally, the package offers a Complete Blood Count (CBC) test to assess different blood components, including platelet levels. Since dengue can lower platelet levels, the CBC test, along with the Dengue Profile, helps identify the stage of infection and determines whether medical intervention is required. The package also features Liver Function Tests (LFTs) to evaluate liver health. As dengue can affect liver function, these tests monitor enzyme levels and detect any potential liver damage. The Dengue Screening Package provides a thorough assessment to aid in diagnosing and managing dengue fever.

If you're in Hyderabad, you can conveniently schedule the Dengue Screening Package from the comfort of your home, no matter where you are in the city.
