Understanding Your Results

The Dengue IgG Antibody EIA test results indicate the presence of IgG antibodies, which typically develop weeks after dengue infection and persist for years, suggesting past infection or immunity.
Positive Result: IgG antibodies detected, indicating past dengue infection or immune response.
Negative Result: No IgG antibodies detected, suggesting no past infection or very early infection.
Equivocal Result: Borderline levels; recommend retesting after 1-2 weeks or additional tests like IgM.
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If you test positive and have active symptoms, or if you experience severe symptoms like high fever, bleeding, or abdominal pain, consult a doctor immediately for further evaluation and management.

Limitations

  • ⚠Cannot distinguish between primary and secondary dengue infection without IgM test
  • ⚠Not useful for early acute infection detection; use NS1 or IgM tests instead
  • ⚠Results may vary based on assay sensitivity and laboratory methods

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minor pain or bruising at the blood draw site
  • ●Rare risk of infection or excessive bleeding
  • ●Minimal risk for most individuals

Interfering Factors

  • ●Cross-reactivity with other flavivirus infections (e.g., Zika, Yellow Fever)
  • ●Timing of test: IgG antibodies may take 7-14 days to develop post-infection
  • ●Hemolyzed or lipemic samples may affect results
