Dengue Testing in Delhi
Delhi is a dengue hotspot with thousands of cases each year during the monsoon season. Accurate and timely dengue testing is critical. At Dashvanth Healthcare Delhi, we provide all dengue tests with same-day results.
Types of Dengue Tests
NS1 Antigen Test (Days 1–5)
- Best test in the first 5 days of fever
- Detects dengue virus protein directly
- Highly specific for dengue
- Positive: Confirms active dengue infection
Dengue IgM Antibody (Days 4–14)
- Indicates recent dengue infection
- Becomes positive 4–5 days after fever onset
- Remains positive for 3 months
Dengue IgG Antibody
- Indicates past infection or secondary dengue
- Positive IgG with positive IgM = secondary dengue (higher risk of severe disease)
Complete Blood Count (CBC)
- Monitor platelet count and haematocrit
- Platelet count below 100,000 = dengue warning
- Rising haematocrit = plasma leakage (severe dengue)
- Repeat CBC every 24 hours when platelets falling
When to Test
- Fever for 2+ days during or after monsoon in Delhi
- Fever with severe headache, eye pain, rash, or joint pains
- Fever with low platelet count
