Understanding the Dengue NS1 Antigen Test

A dengue test is a diagnostic tool used to detect the presence of the dengue virus or antibodies produced in response to infection. One of the most reliable tests is the NS1 Antigen ELISA test, which identifies the dengue virus in the early stages of illness, typically within the first five days of symptom onset.

Dengue NS1 Antigen Test Measures

Dengue is a mosquito-borne illness that can become severe if not diagnosed and managed early. Due to its seasonal spikes, especially during and after monsoons, dengue testing is critical in preventing complications such as dengue haemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome. A timely dengue fever test enables: Early diagnosis and clinical management Monitoring of platelet levels and organ function Reduced risk of complications Distinction from other viral or bacterial infections with overlapping symptoms

Types of Dengue Tests Available in Lucknow

Several types of tests are available for diagnosing dengue in Lucknow:

NS1 Antigen Test (ELISA): Detects dengue virus proteins in the early stages (Day 1 to Day 5 of symptoms)
Dengue IgM and IgG Antibody Test: Used later in the illness to confirm or assess the stage of infection
Dengue Panel Test: A combination of antigen and antibody tests for comprehensive diagnosis
CBC Test for Dengue: Monitors platelet count and white blood cell levels as supporting diagnostics

Muscle, bone, or joint pain (often referred to as "breakbone fever")

What Happens During a Dengue Test in Lucknow?

Here’s what to expect during the NS1 Antigen blood test for dengue in Lucknow:

A certified phlebotomist arrives at your location
A blood sample is drawn from a vein in your arm using sterile equipment
The sample is transported to a NABL-accredited lab for ELISA-based testing
You’ll receive your dengue test report online once ready

There are no special after-care requirements. Continue staying hydrated and monitor your symptoms as advised.

Understanding Your Dengue Test Results

Here’s how the dengue NS1 ELISA test results are interpreted:

Result	Interpretation
Positive	Dengue infection detected; usually within 1–5 days of fever onset
Negative	Dengue not detected, or test done outside optimal window (may require IgM/IgG tests)

Note: The normal range for dengue NS1 ELISA is typically "non-reactive" or "negative." However, even with a negative result, your doctor may order additional tests if symptoms persist or worsen.

Platelet count from a CBC test for dengue may also help assess disease severity and need for hospitalisation.
