What is the DENGUE FEVER ANTIBODIES IgG and IgM ICT Test?
The DENGUE FEVER ANTIBODIES IgG & IgM ICT Test is a rapid diagnostic test used to detect the presence of antibodies (IgG and IgM) against the dengue virus in a person’s blood. Dengue fever is a viral infection transmitted by mosquitoes. The test helps in the early diagnosis of dengue infection and aids in monitoring the progression of the disease.
How does the test work?
The test works by using an immunochromatographic technique, where specific antibodies against the dengue virus are immobilized on a test strip. When a blood sample is applied to the test strip, any antibodies present in the sample will bind to the immobilized antibodies, forming a visible line on the test strip. The test can detect both IgG and IgM antibodies, which are different types of antibodies produced by the immune system in response to a dengue infection.
Interpreting the test results
Interpreting the test results involves looking for the presence or absence of the IgG and IgM lines on the test strip. A positive result for IgM antibodies indicates a recent dengue infection, while a positive result for IgG antibodies suggests a past infection or immunity to dengue. It is important to note that this test is a screening tool and should be confirmed with further laboratory testing, such as a dengue NS1 antigen test or dengue PCR test, for a definitive diagnosis of dengue fever.
