    Is the dengue test the same as the rapid test?

    No, the Dengue ELISA test is different from the rapid diagnostic test (RDT). The ELISA test is a laboratory-based method that uses enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to detect dengue-specific antibodies or antigens with high sensitivity and specificity. It requires specialised equipment and trained personnel to perform and interpret. The rapid test, on the other hand, is a point-of-care test that provides quicker results, usually within 15-30 minutes, and can be done in a clinical setting or even at home. While rapid tests are convenient and useful for initial screening, they are generally less accurate than ELISA tests and may require confirmation by laboratory-based methods.
