Rapid dengue fever test

IgGIgMvirus

The Dengue Rapid Test Cassette (Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma) is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of IgG and IgM antibodies to Dengue virus in human whole blood, serum, or plasma as an aid in the diagnosis of primary and secondary Dengue infections. Primary Dengue infection is characterized by the presence of detectable IgM antibodies 3-5 days after the onset of infection. Secondary Dengue infection is characterized by the elevation of Dengue-specific IgG. In the majority of the cases, this is accompanied by elevated levels of IgM. The Dengue Rapid Test (Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma) has been compared with a leading commercial Dengue ELISA test, demonstrating sensitivityof83.3% for IgM in primary infection and>99.9% for IgG in secondary infection. Relative sensitivity:(15+52)/(18+52)=95.7% (95%CI*:88.0%~99.1%); Relative specificity: 338/338>99.9%(95%CI*:99.1%~100.0%); Accuracy:(15+52+338)/(18+52+338)=99.3%(95%CI*: 97.9%~99.8%). *Confidence Intervals
