I just received my father blood test report and the results say IGG negative, IGM positive, and NS1 antigen negative. Does that mean he is diagnosed with dengue virus?

IgM positive suggests recent dengue infection. NS1 negative may indicate its past the early stage. Monitor fever, hydration, and platelets. Seek immediate care if symptoms worsen.

What precautions should I take after suffering from 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?
