Know more about this test

A Dengue Antibody, IgM test helps to detect the presence of dengue-specific antibodies called  Immunoglobulin M (IgM) produced by the body in response to the dengue virus. This test is available at an affordable price in Chandigarh with Tata 1mg labs and helps in the early detection of dengue fever, often within the first few days after the onset of symptoms.

Usually, IgM are the first antibodies produced by the immune system (appear within 3-5 days after the onset of symptoms) and their presence suggests a recent dengue infection. 

Doctors may suggest this test when individuals present with symptoms such as sudden onset of high fever, severe headache, joint and muscle pain, rash, and other flu-like symptoms suggestive of dengue fever. No special preparation is required for this test.

Understanding Dengue Antibody, IgM

Dengue fever is a viral infection transmitted through mosquito bites, primarily by the Aedes aegypti mosquito carrying the dengue virus. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), dengue fever is a significant health concern widespread in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. The symptoms of dengue fever can vary widely, ranging from mild-flu-like symptoms such as fever, headache, and body ache to more severe manifestations like bleeding, abdominal pain, or Dengue Hemorrhagic fever (DHF) which is life-threatening if not treated promptly. 

A Dengue Antibody, IgM test is most effective when conducted during the acute phase of infection i.e. starting 4-5 days after onset of symptoms and is reliably detectable for approximately 12 weeks, offering a crucial time window to identify the presence of dengue-specific IgM antibodies in the blood. While there is no specific antiviral treatment available, timely diagnosis not only helps confirm the infection but allows for prompt treatment to reduce the risk of complications associated with dengue fever.  

A Dengue Antibody, IgM test plays an important role in the diagnostic process of dengue fever. No special preparations are required to get tested with a Dengue Antibody, IgM test. Lab test results may vary across different laboratories. Abnormal test results require an expert interpretation, therefore, never try to self-medicate at home based solely on these results, and always consult a doctor for proper understanding of the test results. Discuss your symptoms and medical history to help the doctor correlate your clinical and laboratory findings and tailor a treatment plan. 

Understanding the spectrum of dengue fever is essential. Recovery from one serotype of the dengue virus grants lifelong immunity against that specific strain. However, it is noteworthy that you remain susceptible to other types of dengue viruses. Another infection, especially with a different serotype, can be more severe and dangerous. Therefore, taking every possible precaution to prevent subsequent attacks of dengue virus should be a priority in safeguarding your health.
