ICT for Dengue Antibodies: (IgG & IgM)
Unlocking Immune Responses with IgG and IgM Immunochromatography
৳300

Sample Type
blood
Fasting Required
No
Description
Positive IgM and IgG tests for dengue antibodies detected in an initial blood sample mean that it is likely that the person became infected with dengue virus within recent weeks. If the IgG is positive but the IgM is low or negative, then it is likely that the person had an infection sometime in the past.

How our test process works!
The ICT for Dengue Antibodies (IgG & IgM) is a rapid diagnostic test that detects IgG and IgM antibodies specific to the dengue virus in serum, plasma, or whole blood samples, providing quick results within minutes.
The ICT for Dengue Antibodies test may pose a risk of false positives or false negatives, particularly in regions with multiple circulating flaviviruses or during certain stages of infection, potentially leading to misdiagnosis and inappropriate management.
Results are typically reported as positive or negative for IgG and IgM antibodies separately, indicating past or recent exposure to the dengue virus.
Positive IgM result suggests recent dengue infection (within the past few weeks).
Positive IgG result indicates past exposure to dengue virus.
Negative results do not rule out dengue infection, especially if the test is performed early in the infection or if the patient's immune response is delayed.
The ICT for Dengue Antibodies test requires a small amount of serum, plasma, or whole blood obtained through venipuncture or fingerstick. The sample is applied to the test device, and results are interpreted visually within a few minutes.
Frequently Asked Question
IgM antibodies typically appear early in the infection, indicating recent exposure to the dengue virus. IgG antibodies appear later and persist for a longer time, indicating past exposure or immunity to dengue.
The ICT test is used as a quick screening tool during the acute phase of dengue infection to detect antibodies. It helps in early diagnosis and management of dengue fever.
The ICT test is generally considered reliable for detecting dengue antibodies, but results may vary based on the timing of the test (early versus late infection) and other factors. Confirmation by other diagnostic methods may be necessary in some cases.
A positive result indicates the presence of dengue antibodies. Further medical evaluation and management are necessary, including additional tests if needed to confirm the diagnosis and monitor the patient's condition.
The test may not distinguish between primary and secondary dengue infections. Interpretation of results should consider clinical symptoms, travel history, and other diagnostic tests for confirmation.
Yes, the ICT test is often used in endemic regions for surveillance of dengue outbreaks and monitoring the prevalence of dengue virus infections in populations.
Results from the ICT test are usually available within 15-30 minutes, making it a rapid diagnostic tool suitable for point-of-care testing.
The test uses a small amount of blood, which is placed on a test strip containing dengue antigen. If antibodies (IgG or IgM) against the dengue virus are present in the blood sample, they bind to the antigen particles on the strip, causing a visible reaction line to appear.
The ICT test is a rapid diagnostic test used to detect IgG and IgM antibodies specific to the dengue virus in human blood, serum, or plasma.
No, the ICT test detects antibodies (IgG and IgM) produced by the body in response to the dengue virus. PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) tests detect the genetic material (RNA) of the virus itself and are used to diagnose active infection during the early stages.
