    What is a Dengue Screening ?

    The Dengue Screening Package is a set of tests used to detect and monitor dengue fever; a viral illness spread by mosquitoes. Dengue fever often starts with flu-like symptoms, such as a high fever, severe headaches, and joint pain, but it can sometimes lead to more serious conditions.

    The package includes the Dengue Profile – enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test, which checks your blood for NS1 antigen and IgM, IgG antibodies, specific to the dengue virus. This helps confirm if you have dengue fever, which is particularly important in regions where the disease is common.

    It also includes a Complete Blood Count test, which assesses various components of your blood, including platelet levels. Dengue can cause a drop in platelet levels, and this test, along with a dengue profile, aids in identifying the infection phase and determining the necessity for medical intervention.

    Additionally, the package includes Liver Function Tests to check how well your liver is working. Dengue can sometimes affect liver function, causing changes in enzyme levels or, in severe cases, liver damage.

    The tests in the Dengue Screening Package provide a comprehensive evaluation to help diagnose and manage dengue fever.

    If you live in Bangalore and are looking for a Dengue Screening Package, you can schedule the Dengue Screening Package at home conveniently anywhere in Bangalore.

    Dengue Screening Parameters

    Complete Blood Count (CBC)

    The Complete Blood Count (CBC) is a common blood test that measures various parameters of the blood, including red blood cells (which carry oxygen), white blood cells (which fight infection), and platelets (which help blood clot). It also checks the hemoglobin, hematocrit, and mean corpuscular volume (MCV) to provide information about the blood's overall health.

    • Mean Platelet Volume

    • Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio

    Liver Function Test (LFT)

    The Liver Function Test (LFT) is a group of tests used to evaluate the health of your liver. It measures the levels of proteins, liver enzymes, and bilirubin in your blood. An LFT can help diagnose liver diseases such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, or liver cancer.

    • Alkaline Phosphatase

    • SGOT / AST - Aspartate AminoTransferase

    • Alanine AminoTransferase/ ALT (SGPT)

    • Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT)

    • ALBUMIN

    • Globulin

    • A:G ratio

    Dengue profile (ELISA)

    A Dengue Profile ELISA is a blood test that detects antibodies specific to the dengue virus. It's used to diagnose dengue infection, a mosquito-borne viral illness with flu-like symptoms. This ELISA test helps confirm the presence of dengue antibodies in the blood, aiding in accurate diagnosis and guiding appropriate medical care, especially in regions where dengue is prevalent.

    • Dengue NS1 Antigen

    • Dengue IgM antibody

    • Dengue IgG antibody
