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.
