this is used for the qualitative detection of dengue virus IgM antibodies.
Reference Range: Dengue Fever Virus Antibody, IgG 1.64 IV or less: Negative - No significant level of detectable dengue fever virus IgG antibody. 1.65-2.84 IV: Equivocal - Questionable presence of antibodies. Repeat testing in 10-14 days may be helpful.
Interpretation:
- IgM Positive, IgG Negative: Recent acute infection.
- IgM Negative, IgG Positive: Past infection, or exposure to Dengue virus.
- Both IgM and IgG Positive: Recent or ongoing infection with a possible secondary infection.
- Both Negative: No recent or past Dengue infection detected, or too early in infection for antibodies to be present.

Frequently Asked Question
The ELISA Test for Dengue Antibodies is performed to diagnose dengue fever, a mosquito-borne viral infection caused by the dengue virus. It helps identify whether a person has been exposed to the virus and has developed antibodies against it.
A positive result on the ELISA Test for Dengue Antibodies indicates that antibodies against the dengue virus are present in the patient's blood. This suggests that the person has been exposed to the virus and may have a dengue infection. Further clinical evaluation may be needed to confirm the diagnosis.
The ELISA Test for Dengue Antibodies involves adding the patient's blood sample to a plate coated with dengue virus antigens. If antibodies against the dengue virus are present in the sample, they will bind to the antigens. The bound antibodies are then detected using enzyme-linked antibodies, and a color change indicates a positive result.
A negative result on the ELISA Test for Dengue Antibodies indicates the absence of detectable antibodies against the dengue virus in the patient's blood. However, it does not completely rule out a dengue infection, especially if the test is performed too early in the course of the illness when antibodies may not have developed yet.
Yes, several factors can affect the results of the ELISA Test for Dengue Antibodies, including the timing of sample collection, the sensitivity and specificity of the test kit used, and the presence of cross-reactivity with other flaviviruses (such as Zika virus or yellow fever virus).
The ELISA Test for Dengue Antibodies is primarily used for diagnosing dengue fever and is not routinely used for monitoring disease progression or predicting outcome. Other tests, such as complete blood count (CBC) and clinical evaluation, are typically used for monitoring and managing dengue patients.
The availability of the ELISA Test for Dengue Antibodies may vary depending on the location and resources of the healthcare facility. In regions where dengue fever is endemic, this test may be readily available. However, in other areas, it may be less commonly used due to factors such as cost and infrastructure.
No, the ELISA Test for Dengue Antibodies is just one of several diagnostic tests available for dengue fever. Other tests, such as reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for viral RNA detection or rapid antigen tests, may also be used depending on the clinical scenario and available resources.
The ELISA Test for Dengue Antibodies can detect both IgM and IgG antibodies against the dengue virus. IgM antibodies are typically produced early in the course of infection, while IgG antibodies are produced later and provide long-term immunity.
