    What is a Dengue Screening ?

    The Dengue Screening Package is a specialised set of tests aimed at detecting and managing dengue fever, a viral illness transmitted by mosquitoes. Dengue often starts with flu-like symptoms like high fever, severe headaches, and joint pain, but it can occasionally lead to more severe health complications. This package includes the Dengue Profile test, which uses enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to detect the presence of NS1 antigen and IgM and IgG antibodies in the blood, confirming if you have the dengue virus. This is especially vital in regions where the disease is endemic. The package also includes a Complete Blood Count (CBC) test to evaluate key blood components, including platelet levels. Dengue can result in a drop in platelet count, and the CBC test, in combination with the Dengue Profile, helps identify the phase of infection and the need for medical intervention. Additionally, Liver Function Tests (LFTs) are included to assess liver function, as dengue can affect liver health, leading to changes in enzyme levels or even liver damage in severe cases. These tests offer a full diagnostic approach to help in managing and treating dengue fever.

    If you are based in Gurgaon, you can easily schedule the Dengue Screening Package from the comfort of your home, with availability 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 Monocyte count

    • Absolute basophil count

    • Platelet count

    • 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

    • Cautions Before Taking a Dengue Screening Package

    No special preparation is needed for this test, but it’s a good idea to consult with your doctor to make sure the test is appropriate for you.

    Why Take the Dengue Screening Checkup?

Dengue typically begins with high fever, severe headaches, eye pain, joint and muscle aches, rash, and nausea. If you experience these symptoms, you can schedule the Dengue Screening Package to confirm the diagnosis.

    • Early and Accurate Diagnosis : Dengue fever can escalate rapidly. The package includes ELISA testing to detect the dengue virus, ensuring early diagnosis and timely treatment.

    • Monitoring Health Changes : Dengue can affect your blood and liver functions. This package monitors your blood count and liver health to evaluate how the disease is affecting your body and to adjust treatment if needed.

    • Identifying Dengue from Other Illnesses : Dengue symptoms often resemble those of other illnesses, and the tests in this package help confirm dengue, ensuring you receive the right diagnosis and treatment.
