Dengue Virus and Chikungunya Virus RNA Detection Qualitative Test
Cost: AED 750.0
Test Details
The Dengue Virus and Chikungunya Virus RNA Detection Qualitative Test is a diagnostic tool used to detect the presence of RNA from these two viruses in a patient’s blood sample. Both Dengue and Chikungunya are viral infections transmitted by mosquitoes and can cause similar symptoms such as fever, joint pain, and rash.
The test utilizes a molecular technique called reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to amplify and detect specific RNA sequences from the viruses. The test can identify the viral RNA even in the early stages of infection when the viral load is low.
The qualitative nature of the test means that it can determine whether the virus is present or absent in the patient’s sample. It cannot provide information on the viral load or the severity of the infection.
Test Components and Price
- Test Name: Dengue Virus and Chikungunya Virus RNA Detection Qualitative Test
- Price: AED 750.0
Sample Condition
The test can be performed on whole blood, serum, plasma, or cerebrospinal fluid (C.S.F).
Report Delivery
The test results will be delivered via email within 36 hours on the 3rd working day. Results can also be obtained over the phone within 24 hours.
Method
The test utilizes Real Time PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) method.
Test Type
The test is classified as a viral test.
Doctor
The test is typically ordered by a physician.
Test Department
The test is performed in the Genetics department of DNA Labs UAE.
Pre Test Information
Prior to the test, the patient needs to sign a consent document and provide any relevant clinical history for Dengue Virus and Chikungunya Virus (RNA Detection) Qualitative Test.
Importance of the Test
The early detection of Dengue and Chikungunya viral infections is crucial for appropriate management and treatment. Identifying the specific virus causing the symptoms can help guide treatment decisions and prevent further spread of the infection.
It is important to note that this test is specific for detecting RNA from Dengue and Chikungunya viruses and does not detect other viral infections or provide information about immunity to these viruses. Other tests, such as serological tests, may be needed to confirm the diagnosis and determine the patient’s immune status.

It cannot provide information on the viral load or the severity of the infection. The Dengue Virus and Chikungunya Virus (RNA Detection) Qualitative Test is typically performed in specialized laboratories equipped with the necessary equipment and expertise to handle and process RNA samples. The test is usually ordered by healthcare providers when there is a suspicion of Dengue or Chikungunya infection based on the patient’s symptoms and exposure history. Early detection of these viral infections is crucial for appropriate management and treatment. Identifying the specific virus causing the symptoms can help guide treatment decisions and prevent further spread of the infection. It is important to note that this test is specific for detecting RNA from Dengue and Chikungunya viruses and does not detect other viral infections or provide information about immunity to these viruses.
