Infectious Disease

Dengue Test Kits are medical diagnostic tools that are used to detect antigens or antibodies due to infection with the virus that causes dengue fever. Dengue fever is a viral illness that is commonly transmitted by the Aedes mosquito, and this disease is prevalent in many regions of the world.

Dengue test kits are produced in three variations: dengue IgG/IgM antibody test kits, dengue NS1 antigen test kits, or IgG/IgM/NS1 combo test kits. Each of these test kits is intended for the qualitative detection of dengue virus-specific IgG and IgM antibodies and NS1 antigens in the case of acute dengue virus infection.

Dengue fever test kits are recommended for professional use only and are not intended for at-home use.

The Dengue Test Kits are manufactured by AdvaCare Pharma, a leading pharmaceutical company. These infectious disease test kits have been produced in strategically-located facilities across India, China, and the USA.

Dengue IgG/IgM Antibody Test Kit

Dengue IgG/IgM Antibody Test Kit is used to detect the presence of IgG and IgM antibodies specific to the dengue virus in whole blood or a serum/plasma sample.

The test is conducted using a cassette format, which allows for easy and quick interpretation of results. It is an effective tool for the early diagnosis of dengue fever and can assist healthcare professionals in determining the immune response to the infection.

Dengue NS1 Antigen Test Kit

Dengue NS1 Antigen Test Kit is a diagnostic tool used to detect the presence of the NS1 antigen of the dengue virus in whole blood or serum/plasma samples.

The test kit comes in a cassette format, which allows for easy and accurate interpretation of results. It is a valuable tool for early diagnosis of dengue infection, as the NS1 antigen can be detected during the early stages of the disease.

Dengue IgG/IgM/NS1 Combo Test Kit

Dengue IgG/IgM/NS1 Combo Test Kit is a comprehensive diagnostic tool used to detect multiple markers associated with dengue infection.

The combo test kit is produced as a multi-panel cassette format, which allows for the simultaneous detection of dengue IgG antibodies, IgM antibodies, and NS1 antigens in whole blood or serum/plasma samples.

Whole Blood

Whole Blood sample required may be obtained using standard venipuncture (2 drops) or fingerstick (50 μL) techniques. For serum or plasma samples, the specimen must be centrifuged. The sample is then transferred to the designated wells on the cassette of the cassette. A drop of the corresponding buffer dilution must be added afterward to initiate the test.

Serum/Plasma

A Serum/Plasma specimen is needed for this type of test. Once the blood samples have been centrifuged to separate the serum/plasma, the resulting specimen needs to be carefully transferred to the designated areas of the cassette using a capillary tube or dropper.

Following this, a single drop of the buffer dilution should be promptly added to the specimen. The buffer and sample will then interact, which will lead to a test result.

Cassette

Cassette is a plastic container with a test strip inside. The plastic box features a designated area for sample application and an area for displaying positive, negative, or invalid test results.

The test strip inside of the cassette is designed to react with the designated antibody or antigen.

Multi-Panel Cassette

Multi-Panel Cassette consists of a plastic box that contains 2 test strips inside. Each cassette includes two designated areas for sample placement and two windows that display lines, which represent positive, negative, or invalid test results.

The test strips inside contain reagents which interact with any present antibodies or antigens in the patient sample.

Uses

How should Dengue Test Kits be used?

1. A sample of whole blood, serum, or plasma should be collected from the patient. 2. The specimen is to be administered to the sample well or wells on the cassette. 3. The buffer must be added immediately afterward. 3. Results will appear within the designated waiting time established on the packaging.

How should Dengue Test Kits be disposed of?

Used dengue fever kits should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations. It is recommended to place all components into a properly sealed bag and then put them in an infectious waste container.

What are the storage specifications for Dengue Test Kits?

All types of dengue virus test kits should be stored at room temperature (2-30°C) and kept away from direct exposure to sunlight, heat, or moisture. Do not refrigerate the test kits.

FAQs

How does a Dengue Test Kit work?

Within the cassette device, each test strip contains a dengue virus-specific antigen or antibody that will bind to its designated antibody or antigen. This will result in the appearance of lines on the test strip. False positives or false negatives may occur due to factors such as technical or procedural errors or inadequate specimen collection or storage.

Which type of Dengue Test Kits should be performed?

The recommended test kit type is dependent on the clinical situation and the stage of the illness of the patient. Dengue IgG/IgM antibody test kit is able to detect the presence of virus-specific IgG and IgM antibodies within a sample. Typically, IgM antibodies are detectable during acute infection, and IgG antibodies are detectable for months or years after infection. This type of dengue fever test is recommended for evaluating a past or recent dengue virus infection. It is not usually able to detect the virus early in the infection.

The dengue NS1 antigen test kit is able to detect the virus antigen NS1 within the acute stage of infection. It is not able to detect a past infection.

The dengue IgG/IgM/NS1 combo test kit is a more comprehensive method of testing, which can provide a clearer indication of the stage of infection. It is a recommended method for settings with limited lab resources.

Who should be tested with Dengue Test Kits?

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends diagnostic testing for patients with fever and presenting symptoms of a dengue virus infection, particularly in regions in which dengue is endemic or epidemic or who have recently traveled to an area with a high dengue transmission rate. It is also recommended to test patients exhibiting symptoms who may have been exposed to the virus through blood transfusion or organ transplant.

What are the limitations of using a rapid Dengue Test Kit?

Though the dengue fever testing kits are reliable, there are known cross-reactivity with closely-related viruses, such as the zika virus. These tests should be used in conjunction with other diagnostic tools for clinical evaluation.
