I recently did an NS1 dengue test, which came out negative. Unsatisfied with the result, I repeated the test at a different clinic, and it showed a Dengue NS1 Antigen ratio of 3.5. All other parameters, such as platelet count and blood pressure, are normal. Can someone explain what this result means in detail, and what steps I should take next?

What causes dengue?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have had a fever since last Sunday. Blood tests showed: Dengue NS1 Antigen is Positive, IgM Antibodies is Negative, IgG Antibodies is Positive. I would like to know: Under what conditions or severity of dengue should a patient be hospitalized? Is there any specific medicine available in India for treating dengue?
