HomeLab TestICT for Dengue Antibodies: (IgG & IgM)
Overview
The ICT for Dengue Antibodies (IgG & IgM) is a rapid diagnostic test that detects IgG and IgM antibodies specific to the dengue virus in serum, plasma, or whole blood samples, providing quick results within minutes.
Risk assessment
The ICT for Dengue Antibodies test may pose a risk of false positives or false negatives, particularly in regions with multiple circulating flaviviruses or during certain stages of infection, potentially leading to misdiagnosis and inappropriate mana...
Ranges
Results are typically reported as positive or negative for IgG and IgM antibodies separately, indicating past or recent exposure to the dengue virus.
Test result interpretation
Positive IgM result suggests recent dengue infection (within the past few weeks).
Positive IgG result indicates past exposure to dengue virus.
Negative results do not rule out dengue infection, especially if the test is performed early in the infecti...
Sample types
The ICT for Dengue Antibodies test requires a small amount of serum, plasma, or whole blood obtained through venipuncture or fingerstick. The sample is applied to the test device, and results are interpreted visually within a few minutes.

Description
Positive IgM and IgG tests for dengue antibodies detected in an initial blood sample mean that it is likely that the person became infected with dengue virus within recent weeks. If the IgG is positive but the IgM is low or negative, then it is likely that the person had an infection sometime in the past.
