    What is a Dengue Screening ?

    The Dengue Screening Package is a series of tests designed to detect and monitor dengue fever, a mosquito-borne viral illness. Dengue fever typically begins with symptoms similar to flu such as high fever, severe headaches, and joint pain, but in some cases, it can progress to more serious conditions. This package includes the Dengue Profile test using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), which detects the presence of NS1 antigen and IgM and IgG antibodies in your blood, confirming whether you have dengue fever. This is especially critical in regions where the disease is prevalent. Additionally, the package offers a Complete Blood Count (CBC) test to assess different blood components, including platelet levels. Since dengue can lower platelet levels, the CBC test, along with the Dengue Profile, helps identify the stage of infection and determines whether medical intervention is required. The package also features Liver Function Tests (LFTs) to evaluate liver health. As dengue can affect liver function, these tests monitor enzyme levels and detect any potential liver damage. The Dengue Screening Package provides a thorough assessment to aid in diagnosing and managing dengue fever.

    If you're in Hyderabad, you can conveniently schedule the Dengue Screening Package from the comfort of your home, no matter where you are in 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

    • 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

    • Prerequisites

    There’s no need to fast before taking the Dengue Screening Package.

    • Cautions Before Taking a Dengue Screening Package

    No special preparation is required for the Dengue Screening Package, but it’s recommended to consult your doctor to ensure the test is suitable for you.

    Why Take the Dengue Screening Checkup?

    Taking a Dengue Screening test is recommended if you exhibit symptoms of dengue fever or have been in an area where the disease is prevalent. Dengue usually begins with a high fever, severe headaches, pain behind the eyes, joint and muscle aches, rash, and nausea. If these symptoms occur, scheduling the Dengue Screening Package can help confirm a dengue infection.

    • Early and Accurate Diagnosis : Dengue fever can exacerbate quickly. The package includes tests like ELISA to detect the virus, aiding in early diagnosis and treatment.

    • Identifying Dengue Among Other Illnesses : Since dengue symptoms can mimic other diseases, the tests in this package help confirm the diagnosis, ensuring you receive the appropriate treatment.

    • Monitoring Health Changes : Dengue affects blood and liver function. The package tests your blood count and liver function to track the disease’s impact on your body and adjust treatments accordingly.

    In Hyderabad, the Dengue Screening test offers a comprehensive evaluation to assist in the diagnosis and management of dengue fever.
