Reference Range
NS1 Antigen Index | <1.00 |
Dengue Fever Antibody (IgG) | <0.80 |
Dengue Fever Antibody (IgM) | ≤1.65 |
Clinical Significance
NS1 antigen detection can serve as an effective bridge between dengue RNA detection (usually negative by day 5) and dengue IgM detection (may not be positive until day 6) for identifying acute dengue virus infection.
