Normal Range (Interpretation)

NS1 Antigen Test:
Negative result indicates no presence of NS1 protein (no current infection).
Positive result indicates a current infection, especially in the early phase (0-7 days after symptom onset).
Dengue IgM/IgG Antibodies:
IgM Negative: No recent dengue infection.
IgM Positive: Indicates recent or active dengue infection, usually detectable from 4-5 days post-symptom onset.
IgG Positive: Indicates past infection or secondary dengue infection.
Complete Blood Count (CBC):
- Platelet count: Dengue infection often causes thrombocytopenia (low platelet count). Normal platelet count ranges between 150,000 and 450,000 platelets per microliter.
- White blood cell count (WBC): Dengue can cause leukopenia (low white blood cell count). Normal WBC count is between 4,000 and 11,000 cells per microliter.
PCR Test:
Negative result indicates no detectable viral RNA (no active viral replication).
Positive result confirms active dengue infection, useful during the early acute phase of the disease.
