CertifiedLabsWhat is the Dengue Rapid Test?
Our Dengue test is a simple blood test that detects the dengue virus and the antibodies your body creates in response. This test is essential for diagnosing dengue fever, a disease transmitted by mosquitoes, specifically the female Aedes aegypti. Symptoms can vary from mild to severe, and without early diagnosis and treatment, dengue can escalate into serious, life-threatening complications.
Quick and precise testing is vital for early detection and ensuring the right treatment plan. The Dengue Profile (Rapid) test available in Noida offers a comprehensive assessment that aids in understanding the nature of infection and supports effective treatment strategies.
Dengue Profile (Rapid) Test Parameters
The Dengue Profile (Rapid) test in Noida examines three vital indicators for diagnosing dengue:
Dengue IgM Antibody
These antibodies are produced early in the infection, typically appearing 4 to 5 days after symptoms develop. They remain detectable for up to 12 weeks, which may help determine a recent or current dengue infection.
NS1 Antigen
This test identifies the presence of the NS1 protein in the blood, which is released during an active infection. A positive result confirms an ongoing dengue infection.
Dengue IgG Antibody
IgG antibodies suggest a past infection or immunity. They tend to appear several weeks after symptom onset and can persist in the bloodstream for a long time, offering extended protection.
Dengue Test Preparation
Consider the following points before doing a Dengue Profile (Rapid) test at home:
Prerequisites
There is no need to fast before undergoing the test.
Best Time to Get Tested
You can schedule the test at any time during the day.
Who Should Get a Dengue Profile (Rapid) Test

Additionally, if you’ve been bitten by mosquitoes in areas with dengue outbreaks or are showing symptoms of severe dengue, testing is advised.
Cautions Before Taking a Dengue Profile (Rapid) Test
Make sure to provide your doctor with accurate information about recent travel and any symptoms you’ve been experiencing before taking the test.
