IgM Negative, IgG Negative

No current or past dengue infection detected.

📊

IgM Positive, IgG Negative

Recent primary dengue infection.

📊

IgM Positive, IgG Positive

Recent infection or possible secondary dengue infection.

📊

Limitations

  • ⚠The test may not distinguish between dengue and other flavivirus infections.
  • ⚠Antibodies may not be detectable in very early infection (within first few days).
  • ⚠False negatives can occur in immunocompromised patients.

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minimal risks such as slight pain, bruising, or infection at the puncture site.
  • ●Very rare risk of fainting or dizziness during blood draw.

Interfering Factors

  • ●Hemolyzed or lipemic samples may interfere with test accuracy.
  • ●Cross-reactivity with antibodies to other flaviviruses like Zika or West Nile virus is possible.
