Dengue Rapid Test – Fast Detection of Dengue Virus Antigen and Antibodies

The Dengue Rapid Test – BaseCheck, available at TPT Medical, is a professional in-vitro diagnostic tool designed for the qualitative detection of dengue virus NS1 antigen and IgG/IgM antibodies in human blood, serum, or plasma samples. It serves as a fast and reliable screening method for identifying acute dengue infections and distinguishing between primary and secondary immune responses.

Dengue virus (DENV) is a mosquito-borne pathogen with four distinct serotypes (DENV-1 to DENV-4). It is a major public health concern in tropical and subtropical regions, causing symptoms such as high fever, rash, joint pain, and in severe cases, hemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome.

This test is particularly valuable for:

• Early diagnosis of acute dengue fever during the viremic phase using NS1 antigen detection

• Detection of IgM antibodies indicating recent infection

• Detection of IgG antibodies suggesting past exposure or secondary infection

With a detection time of 15 to 20 minutes, the Dengue Rapid Test is a vital tool in outbreak control, early intervention, and patient management, particularly in areas where dengue is endemic.

Key Benefits

• Simultaneously detects NS1 antigen, IgG, and IgM antibodies

• Differentiates between primary and secondary infections

• Results in 15–20 minutes

• Ideal for hospital labs, field clinics, and urgent care

• Minimizes the need for complex lab equipment

• CE-marked for professional in-vitro diagnostic use

• High sensitivity and specificity for early and accurate diagnosis

Dengue infections can progress quickly, especially in vulnerable patients. Rapid detection using this test allows for timely supportive care, reducing complications and preventing the overuse of antibiotics or misdiagnosis with other febrile illnesses like malaria or typhoid.

The test is based on lateral flow immunoassay technology and uses monoclonal antibodies specific to dengue antigens and immunoglobulins. It is easy to administer and interpret, making it a practical solution in both high-volume labs and resource-limited settings.
