Dengue Profile Test in Thane

What Does a Dengue Profile Test Measure in Thane?

This test serves multiple important purposes in dengue diagnosis:

• Detects active dengue infection through NS1 antigen, which appears in early stages of the disease.
• Identifies recent infections using IgM antibodies that develop 4-5 days after fever begins.
• Confirms past exposure through IgG antibodies that remain detectable after recovery.
• Monitors platelet count to assess the complications like dengue haemorrhagic fever to avoid other health risks.
• Differentiates dengue from other fevers such as malaria, chikungunya, or viral infections

Who Should Consider a Dengue Profile Test?

Your doctor may recommend this test if you fall into any of these categories:

• Patients with fever symptoms including high temperature (104°F/40°C), severe headache, and body aches.
• Individuals with eye pain (retro-orbital pain) accompanied by muscle and joint discomfort.
• People experiencing nausea, vomiting or skin rash along with fever.
• Residents of outbreak areas or those who have travelled to dengue-endemic regions.
• Patients with unexplained fever that doesn't respond to usual treatments.
• Individuals with low platelet count detected in routine blood tests

What is the Purpose of a Dengue Profile Test?

The dengue profile test provides accurate and timely diagnosis of dengue fever, enabling doctors to start appropriate treatment and monitoring immediately. Early detection helps prevent the progression to severe dengue complications, allows for proper platelet monitoring, and supports effective outbreak control measures in communities.
