What is Dengue NS1 Antigen ?
The Dengue NS1 Antigen test is a diagnostic blood test used to detect the presence of the NS1 protein, a non-structural protein produced by the dengue virus during the early stages of infection. This test is highly effective for diagnosing dengue fever within the first 1–7 days after the onset of symptoms, before the body has started producing antibodies. This test is typically ordered when a patient presents with symptoms of dengue fever, such as high fever, severe headache, joint and muscle pain, rash, and fatigue. It is particularly useful in areas where dengue outbreaks are common or during peak transmission seasons. Early detection through the NS1 Antigen test aids in distinguishing dengue from other febrile illnesses, enabling timely treatment and preventing progression to more severe forms of the disease.
