Which test do I need to do for dengue? I need a home test and I do not know which test should be done. She has a fever with vomiting.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For fever with vomiting where dengue is suspected, you should get a Dengue NS1 Antigen test, which helps detect dengue in the early stages, along with a CBC test to monitor platelet counts. These tests are not available as home kits but can be done easily at nearby labs with home sample collection. If your child develops severe vomiting, drowsiness, bleeding, or worsening weakness, visit the hospital immediately for treatment. Book Dengue NS1 Antigen and CBC tests as your next step for diagnosis.

View allI 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?
