Quick highlights
- Rapid screening option for dengue evaluation during fever
- May detect NS1 and/or IgM/IgG depending on kit
- Best interpreted with day of illness and symptoms
- Quick turnaround helps triage but not a standalone diagnosis
- Often paired with CBC/platelets monitoring
- No fasting; serum blood test
- Timing limitations: early vs late phase markers differ
- Home blood collection available in many service areas
- Clear warning signs and safe guidance included
- SEO coverage: dengue rapid card test, dengue profile test, NS1 IgM IgG card test

FAQs
A rapid test that may detect NS1 and/or IgM/IgG depending on the kit.
Performance varies by kit and timing; clinicians interpret results with symptoms and may advise confirmatory testing.
No.
NS1 is commonly used early; IgM rises later.
Yes; timing matters. Clinicians may repeat or use different assays.
Often yes; platelet/hematocrit monitoring is important in suspected dengue.
Serum blood sample.
Rapid/same day.
Yes in many serviceable areas.
Bleeding, severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, drowsiness, breathlessness—seek urgent care.
Follow clinician guidance; NSAIDs are often avoided until dengue excluded.
It strongly supports dengue in the right context, but clinician interpretation applies.
Yes; clinicians may order both tests and CBC.

Clinicians may order ELISA or other tests and rely on clinical monitoring.
