The 3 tests in this panel
What each one measures and the range labs usually print for adults. Ranges differ a little between labs, so the range on your own report is the one your result is judged against.
Dengue NS1 antigen
Detects a dengue virus protein in the blood during the first days of illness, which can show an early, current dengue infection.
Dengue virus IgM
A blood test for IgM antibodies against the dengue virus, used to look for a recent dengue infection.
Dengue virus IgG
Looks for IgG antibodies that show whether your immune system has met a dengue virus before, but it cannot date the infection.
