Summary
Dengue is transmitted by the bite of an Aedes mosquito infected with any one of the four dengue viruses. It occurs in tropical and sub-tropical areas of the world. Symptoms appear 3-14 days after the infective bite. Dengue fever is a febrile illness that can affect infants, young children and adults. Dengue haemorrhagic fever, characterized by fever, abdominal pain, vomiting, and bleeding, is a potentially lethal complication that mainly affects children. Early clinical diagnosis and careful clinical management by experienced physicians and nurses can increase the survival of patients. The Dengue NS1 Antigen Test is a simple, visual qualitative test that detects dengue virus antigen in human whole blood/serum/plasma.The test is based on immunochromatography and can give a result within 15 minutes.
