    What is Dengue Profile (Rapid) Test?

    Our Dengue Profile (Rapid) test is a quick and accurate blood test that detects the presence of the dengue virus and the antibodies produced by your immune system. This test is vital for diagnosing dengue fever, a mosquito-borne infection caused primarily by the female Aedes aegypti. Dengue can present with symptoms ranging from mild to severe, and if not diagnosed early, it can lead to serious complications.

    Early detection through prompt testing is key to preventing the progression of the disease and ensuring effective treatment. Available in Hyderabad, our Dengue Profile (Rapid) test offers a comprehensive assessment, helping healthcare providers understand the extent of the infection and guide appropriate treatment.

    Dengue Profile (Rapid) Test Parameters

    The Dengue Profile (Rapid) test in Hyderabad measures three critical markers for diagnosing dengue fever:

    NS1 Antigen

    This test detects the non-structural protein-1 (NS1), a viral protein released during an active dengue infection. The presence of NS1 in the bloodstream confirms a current infection.

    Dengue IgM Antibody

    These antibodies emerge around 4 to 5 days after symptoms begin and are detectable for up to 12 weeks. IgM antibodies indicate a recent or ongoing dengue infection.

    Dengue IgG Antibody

    IgG antibodies develop later, indicating a past infection or immunity. These antibodies can linger in the bloodstream for months or years, providing long-term defence against dengue.

    • Who Should Get a Dengue Profile (Rapid) Test

    If you have symptoms such as severe muscle pain, high fever, or rash—especially if you’ve recently visited areas where dengue is prevalent—you should consider getting tested. It’s also recommended for those who have been exposed to mosquito bites in dengue-endemic regions or are experiencing severe dengue symptoms.

    • Cautions Before Taking a Dengue Profile (Rapid) Test

    Before testing, provide your doctor with detailed information about your recent travels and any symptoms you are currently experiencing.

    Why Take the Dengue Profile (Rapid) Test?

    You might need a Dengue Profile (Rapid) Test in Hyderabad if you show symptoms of dengue and have recently travelled to dengue-prone areas. Common dengue symptoms include:

    • Sudden high fever (104°F or higher)

    • Pain behind the eyes

    • Headache

    • Skin rashes

    • Nausea and vomiting

    Severe dengue can develop once the initial fever subsides, and symptoms may include:

    • Joint, bone, or muscle pain

    • Bleeding from the nose or gums

    • Persistent vomiting

    • Blood in stool or vomit
