NS1 positive with negative antibodies suggests an early dengue infection (day 1 to 5). You should rest, hydrate well, and monitor platelets. Follow up testing may show antibody development later.

What does it mean when your red blood cells are enlarged?

I have had constant chest pain since being diagnosed with myocarditis in May 2016. My report mentions mild heart scarring and possible pericardial thickening. I would like to know if this chest pain is something I will always experience from now on?
