Dengue NS1 Antigen Test in Khar

Reasons for Undergoing the Dengue Fever NS1 Antigen Test in Khar

Dengue fever is an infectious disease caused by a virus transmitted through mosquito bites, particularly those of Aedes aegypti species. Symptoms may include high fever, severe headache, joint pain, muscle and bone pain and rash. If left untreated or not diagnosed early enough, it might progress to severe dengue or dengue hemorrhagic fever causing organ damage and even death.

The Dengue fever NS1 antigen test plays a crucial role in diagnosing dengue. Here are some reasons why this test is performed:

• Early Detection: The NS1 antigen appears within 24-48 hours of infection, making it possible for early diagnosis.
• Confirmation of Infection: The presence of the NS1 antigen confirms an active dengue infection.
• Initiation of Treatment: An early diagnosis facilitates prompt treatment and management.
