DENGUE NS1 ANTIGEN DETECTION (RAPID CARD)

The ns1 antigen test in Delhi is used to identify the non-structural protein NS1 produced by the dengue virus. During a dengue fever infection, the body releases this protein into the blood. Serum NS1 assays have been developed. Antibodies specific for dengue NS1 protein are used in most of these assays and are typically fluorescently tagged in a lab. In the early stages of dengue infection, ns1 antigen in Delhi can be detected. After the first seven days of symptoms, NS1 testing may be just as sensitive as molecular tests. They are not advised for NS1 testing beyond day 7. Dengue infection occurs if the dengue ns1 antigen in Delhi comes back positive but the test does not reveal the serotype. Researchers have detected dengue ns1 in Delhi in plasma and whole blood. However, most NS1 tests have only been tested on serum
