The Dengue Profile test is a comprehensive blood diagnostic used to detect the Dengue virus transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. This profile typically includes the NS1 Antigen (for early detection) and IgM/IgG Antibodies (to check for current or past infection). Quick and accurate diagnosis is critical to manage the fever and monitor platelet counts to prevent severe complications. 🛡️

Why should you take this test? 🤔

• Early Infection Check: The NS1 Antigen test can detect the virus from the very 1st day of fever. 🤒

• Symptom Investigation: Essential if you have high fever, severe headache (behind the eyes), and joint pain. 🤕

• Platelet Monitoring: Crucial for preventing Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF), where platelet counts can drop dangerously low. 📉

• Immunity Check: IgG antibodies help determine if you have had a dengue infection in the past, which can increase the risk of severity in a second infection. 🔄
