Overview

About Dengue Test (NS1, IgG, IgM)

During dengue season, this panel is often the first thing your doctor asks for once fever crosses two or three days. It checks for NS1 antigen, which shows up early in the infection, alongside IgM and IgG antibodies that your body builds in response.

Testing all three together matters because NS1 is most reliable in the first five days of fever, while IgM and IgG become more useful slightly later. Running them as one panel means you are less likely to get a false negative simply because you tested on the wrong day.

Given how quickly dengue can turn serious, especially with falling platelets, we prioritise same day reporting on this test so your doctor can decide on hospitalisation or home monitoring without delay.

What's Included

NS1 Antigen

Detects a viral protein present from day 1 of fever
The priority test in the first five days of illness

IgM Antibody

Produced by your immune system from around day 5
Indicates a recent or current infection

IgG Antibody

Appears later and can persist for years
Usually reflects past infection; read alongside IgM

Platelet Count (via CBC)

Almost always ordered alongside dengue testing
What actually guides day-to-day management

How to Prepare

  • No fasting required. Dengue tests can be taken at any time of day.
  • Note the day your fever started. This is the single most useful thing you can tell us, since it determines which test is appropriate.
  • Drink fluids. Dehydration is a real risk in dengue and it also makes the blood draw harder.
  • Do not delay. NS1 works best in the first few days. Waiting until day six means missing the window for the most direct test.
  • Bring or mention any previous dengue history, since it affects how antibody results are read.
  • Book home collection if you are unwell. Dragging a feverish patient across Gujranwala helps nobody, and the collection is free.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best day of fever to get tested for dengue?

NS1 antigen is most accurate in the first five days of fever, while IgM and IgG antibodies are more reliable slightly later, which is exactly why we test all three together.
No fasting is needed. You can eat normally before coming in or before our phlebotomist visits your home.
A positive NS1 means the dengue virus antigen was detected in your blood, which is strong evidence of an active infection, especially in the first few days of fever.
Yes, most doctors pair the dengue panel with a CBC to track your platelet count, since falling platelets are one of the key things monitored during dengue.
We treat dengue testing as urgent and aim for same day reporting, so your doctor can make quick decisions on your care.
Yes, home sample collection is available across Gujranwala, Sialkot and Daska, which matters during dengue season when patients are often too weak to travel.
