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.
