    What is a Dengue Screening ?

    The Dengue Screening Package consists of a set of diagnostic tests designed to detect and monitor dengue fever, a viral disease spread by mosquitoes. Dengue typically starts with symptoms similar to flu such as high fever, severe headaches, and joint pain, but in some cases, it can progress to more severe conditions. The package includes a Dengue Profile test, which uses enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to detect NS1 antigen and IgM and IgG antibodies in your blood, helping to confirm if you have the virus. This is especially important in regions with a high prevalence of dengue fever. Additionally, the package features a Complete Blood Count (CBC) test, which checks different blood components, including platelets. Since dengue can lower platelet levels, the CBC test, together with the Dengue Profile, helps assess the phase of the infection and the need for medical intervention. The package also includes Liver Function Tests (LFTs) to evaluate liver health, as dengue can affect liver function, leading to changes in enzyme levels or, in severe cases, liver damage. These tests provide a thorough evaluation for diagnosing and managing dengue fever.

    If you're in Delhi, you can conveniently book the Dengue Screening Package at home, with service available throughout the city.

    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.

    • Red blood cell count (RBC count)

    • Hb - Haemoglobin

    • Haematocrit

    • MCV

    • MCH

    • MCHC

    • Red cell distribution width (RDW)

    • Total WBC count

    • Absolute Neutrophil Count

    • Absolute Lymphocyte Count(ALC)

    • AEC-Absolute Eosinophil Count

    • Absolute Monocyte count

    • Absolute basophil count

    • Platelet count

    • Neutrophils

    • Lymphocytes

    • Monocytes

    • Eosinophils

    • Basophils

    • Mentzer Index

    • Sehgal Index

    • Platelet Hematocrit

    • 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)

    • Total Bilirubin

    • Direct Bilirubin

    • Indirect Bilirubin

    • Total protein

    • 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

    Dengue Screening Preparation

    Before scheduling a Dengue Screening test at home, keep the following in mind:

    • Prerequisites

    You do not need to fast before taking the Dengue Screening Package.

    • Best Time to Get Tested

    The Dengue Screening Package can be scheduled at any time throughout the day.

    • Who Should Get a Dengue Screening Package

    If you experience symptoms like high fever, rash, or joint pain, particularly after travelling to dengue-prone regions, you should consider getting tested. For severe symptoms like continuous vomiting, bleeding, or severe stomach pain, testing is urgent.

    • Cautions Before Taking a Dengue Screening Package

    No special preparations are necessary, but it’s advisable to consult your doctor to confirm that the test is suitable for your case.

    Why Take the Dengue Screening Checkup?

    A Dengue Screening test is advised if you have dengue fever symptoms or have been in a dengue-endemic area. Dengue usually starts with high fever, severe headaches, pain behind the eyes, joint and muscle pain, rash, and nausea. If these symptoms appear, you can schedule the Dengue Screening Package to confirm if you have dengue fever.

    • Early and Accurate Diagnosis : Dengue fever can worsen quickly. The package includes ELISA testing to detect the dengue virus, helping doctors diagnose and treat it early.

    • Monitoring Health Changes : Dengue affects blood and liver functions. This package checks your blood count and liver health to see how the virus is affecting your body and adjusts treatment as needed.

    • Distinguishing Dengue from Other Illnesses : Dengue shows similar symptoms to other diseases, and the tests in this package confirm the infection to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment.

    In Delhi, the Dengue Screening test provides a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating dengue fever.
