75223-8
LaboratoryDengue virus IgG and IgM [Identifier] in Serum, Plasma or Blood by Rapid immunoassay
Definition
A rapid immunochromatographic qualitative screening assay for IgG and IgM antibodies to Dengue virus. In primary dengue infection, a strong IgM antibody response occurs and is detectable by the fourth day of illness. A weaker IgG response becomes detectable after one week of symptoms. Low levels of IgG persist for life but if the patient becomes infected again, a strong IgG response can be detected two days after onset of symptoms, while a weaker IgM response is detectable four to five days after symptoms begin. This makes combination IgG & IgM Dengue antibody rapid tests very useful in endemic areas. Many companies make kits for this test, which is done in many regions of the world. Most of the kits are for ser/plas and testing can be performed in approximately 30 minutes or less. Some are for ser/plas/bld.
