DENGUE FEVER ANTIBODIES IgG and IgM EIA Test
Welcome to DNA Labs UAE, a leading genetic lab in UAE. We offer the DENGUE FEVER ANTIBODIES IgG and IgM EIA Test at a cost of AED 420.0.
Test Details
The DENGUE FEVER ANTIBODIES IgG & IgM EIA Test is a diagnostic test used to detect the presence of antibodies against the dengue virus in a person’s blood. It specifically measures the levels of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies, which are produced by the immune system in response to a dengue infection.
IgM antibodies are the first antibodies to be produced by the immune system in response to an infection, while IgG antibodies are produced later and provide long-term immunity. The presence of IgM antibodies indicates a recent or active dengue infection, while the presence of IgG antibodies indicates a past infection or immunity.
Method
The test is performed using an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (EIA) method, which involves coating a plate with dengue virus antigens. The patient’s blood sample is then added to the plate, and if antibodies against the dengue virus are present in the blood, they will bind to the antigens on the plate. The bound antibodies are then detected using an enzyme-linked secondary antibody, which produces a color change if antibodies are present.
Test Results
The results of the test are typically reported as positive or negative for IgM and IgG antibodies separately. A positive result for IgM antibodies indicates a recent or active dengue infection, while a positive result for IgG antibodies indicates a past infection or immunity. A negative result for both IgM and IgG antibodies suggests no current or past dengue infection.
Usage and Limitations
It’s important to note that this test is not used for diagnosing dengue fever alone, as the symptoms of dengue can be similar to other viral infections. The test is typically used in combination with clinical symptoms and other laboratory tests to confirm a dengue infection.
Test Cost and Sample Requirements
The DENGUE FEVER ANTIBODIES IgG and IgM EIA Test is available at a cost of AED 420.0. The sample required for the test is 2 mL (1 mL min.) serum from 1 SST. It is recommended to ship the sample refrigerated or frozen.
Report Delivery
The report for the test is delivered daily by 12 noon. The same-day report delivery ensures quick and efficient diagnosis.
Pre Test Information
No special preparation is required before taking the DENGUE FEVER ANTIBODIES IgG and IgM EIA Test.
Doctor and Test Department
The test can be ordered by a physician and is conducted in our dedicated Test Department.
