    What is a Dengue Screening ?

    The Dengue Screening Package offers a comprehensive set of tests aimed at detecting and monitoring dengue fever, a viral infection transmitted by mosquitoes. Dengue often presents flu-like symptoms, including high fever, severe headaches, and joint pain, though in some cases it may lead to more severe health issues. The package includes the Dengue Profile using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), which checks your blood for the NS1 antigen and IgM and IgG antibodies specific to the dengue virus. This helps confirm the presence of the virus, which is vital in areas where dengue is common. Additionally, it includes a Complete Blood Count (CBC) test that evaluates various blood components, such as platelet levels. Dengue can cause a significant drop in platelets, and the CBC test, when combined with the Dengue Profile, helps determine the stage of infection and the need for further treatment. Liver Function Tests (LFTs) are also part of the package, as dengue can impact liver function, potentially causing enzyme level changes or, in more severe cases, liver damage. Together, these tests offer a detailed assessment to assist in the diagnosis and management of dengue fever.

    In Mumbai, you can easily book the Dengue Screening Package from the convenience of your home, available anywhere 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.

    • 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

    There are no special preparations for this test, though consulting with your doctor beforehand is recommended to ensure it's appropriate for your condition.

    Why Take the Dengue Screening Checkup?

    If you have symptoms of dengue fever or have been in an area where dengue is common, taking a Dengue Screening test is advised. Symptoms typically begin with a high fever, severe headaches, pain behind the eyes, joint and muscle pain, rash, and nausea. If you experience these, scheduling the Dengue Screening Package will help confirm if you have dengue fever.

    • Early and Accurate Diagnosis : Dengue can escalate quickly, so the package includes ELISA tests to check for infection, allowing doctors to diagnose and treat early.

    • Monitoring Health Changes : Dengue impacts blood and liver function. This package includes tests to monitor blood count and liver health to adjust treatment as necessary.

    • Identifying Dengue Among Other Illnesses : Since dengue symptoms resemble other diseases, this package helps confirm a dengue diagnosis, ensuring proper care.
