Dengue NS1 Antigen test detects the non-structural protein component (NS1) of the dengue virus. This protein is secreted into the blood during dengue infection and is detectable during the first 7 days of symptoms. Therefore this test helps in early diagnosis and treatment of dengue infection. The initial symptoms which are commonly seen in dengue include sudden high fever, fatigue and flu-like symptoms. If left untreated the infection may progress to a severe forms such as Dengue hemorrhagic fever or Dengue shock syndrome.
NS1 antigen is a protein produced by the dengue virus during the early stages of infection.
The EIA method involves using specific antibodies that can bind to the NS1 antigen in the patient's serum. If the NS1 antigen is present, it will bind to these antibodies, resulting in a color change that can be detected by a spectrophotometer or visually.
This test is particularly useful in the early stages of dengue infection when the virus is actively replicating and circulating in the bloodstream. It can help differentiate dengue fever from other febrile illnesses and provide a prompt diagnosis.
The presence of NS1 antigen in the serum suggests an acute dengue infection. However, it should be noted that the absence of NS1 antigen does not rule out dengue infection, as the antigen may only be detectable for a limited period of time during the early stages of the disease.
Overall, the Dengue NS1 antigen EIA, Serum is a valuable tool for diagnosing dengue fever and plays an important role in the early detection and management of this mosquito-borne viral disease.
