Test Overview
Dengue Virus IgG & IgM Antibodies Test
The Dengue Virus IgG & IgM Antibodies Test is crucial for detecting and managing dengue fever. It is highly useful in regions with warm climates where mosquitoes transmit the disease. Dengue fever originates from the dengue virus, primarily transmitted by the Aedes mosquito. The body's defence relies significantly on IgG and IgM antibodies against the virus.

Frequently asked questions
IgM antibodies indicate an early or recent dengue infection, while IgG antibodies suggest a past exposure, aiding in distinguishing between primary and secondary infections.
IgM antibodies typically appear within 3 to 5 days after the onset of symptoms, providing an early window for diagnosis.
Crucial for healthcare workers in outbreaks, it helps manage promptly and lowers the chance of severe issues linked to dengue fever.
Yes, indeed. IgM dominance signals a first infection, and IgG presence indicates a subsequent condition.
IgG antibodies persist for an extended period, often for a lifetime, providing long-term immunity against the Dengue virus.
No, it's valuable for assessing immune status at various stages, aiding in early diagnosis and monitoring past exposures.
Early detection helps reduce the risk of severe complications, including Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever (DHF) and Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS).
The test focuses on detecting IgG and IgM antibodies, providing information about the immune response, but it does not differentiate between specific serotypes.
The testing frequency depends on individual risk factors, exposure levels, and healthcare provider recommendations.
The test is commonly available in regions prone to dengue outbreaks, facilitating timely and accurate diagnosis.
