DENGUE FEVER NS1 ANTIGEN EIA Test
Cost: AED 490.0
Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Test Details
The Dengue Fever NS1 Antigen EIA Test is a diagnostic tool used to detect the presence of the NS1 antigen in the blood of individuals suspected to have dengue fever. Dengue fever is a viral infection transmitted by mosquitoes, primarily the Aedes aegypti species. It is prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions and can cause a wide range of symptoms including high fever, severe headache, joint and muscle pain, rash, and in severe cases, bleeding and organ damage.
The NS1 antigen is a protein produced by the dengue virus during the early stages of infection. The presence of NS1 antigen in the blood indicates an active dengue infection. The NS1 Antigen EIA test is a rapid and sensitive method for detecting the NS1 antigen in patient samples. The test is performed by collecting a blood sample from the patient and adding it to a test plate coated with antibodies specific to the NS1 antigen. If the NS1 antigen is present in the sample, it will bind to the antibodies on the test plate. The test results can be visualized using a color change reaction, indicating a positive result.
