A Dengue Fever, IgG & IgM test that checks the presence of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies produced by the immune system in response to dengue infection. This test is available at an affordable price in Hyderabad with Tata 1mg labs. It helps determine the stage of dengue infection, differentiate between recent and past infections, and aid in the appropriate and timely management of the infection. 

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. Whereas, IgG antibodies develop later in the course of the infection and persist for an extended period. Their presence indicates a past dengue infection or immunity from a previous 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.

Understanding Dengue Fever, IgG & IgM

Dengue is a viral infection caused by the dengue virus. The virus is transmitted to humans primarily through the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes. It typically presents with a sudden onset of symptoms, including high fever, severe headache, pain behind the eyes, joint and muscle pain, rash, and mild bleeding. Early detection and differentiation are crucial, as secondary dengue infections can sometimes lead to more severe forms of the disease, such as dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) or dengue shock syndrome.

A Dengue Fever, IgG & IgM test helps detect dengue and determine whether a person is currently infected (indicated by IgM) or was infected in the past (indicated by IgG). IgM antibodies are the first type of antibodies produced by the immune system in response to a dengue infection. They typically appear within 3-5 days after the onset of symptoms and persist for about 2-3 months. Their presence suggests a recent dengue infection. Whereas, IgG antibodies develop later in the course of the disease and stay for an extended period. Their presence indicates a past dengue infection or immunity from a previous infection. However, rising IgG levels may indicate a secondary dengue infection.

A Dengue Fever, IgG & IgM test may be advised if your doctor suspects dengue infection or if you have recently traveled to a dengue-prone area, even if they do not show any symptoms. Also, pregnant women should get tested for dengue if an infection is suspected, as they have a higher risk of developing DHF and can even pass dengue to their babies during pregnancy or at birth. 

Usually, no special preparation is required for a Dengue Fever, IgG & IgM test; eat and drink as per your daily routine. After two weeks of symptoms, additional blood sample testing may be needed to check if the antibody level is rising. Talk to your doctor about your test results. The results will help them determine your medical condition and formulate an overall treatment plan.

What does Dengue Fever, IgG & IgM measure?

Contains 2 tests

A Dengue Fever, IgG & IgM test measures two parameters in the blood: IgG and IgM antibodies. When a dengue infection occurs, IgM antibodies are the first line of defense, and detection of these antibodies is most effective when done at least 7–10 days after exposure. With time, IgM antibodies fall below detectable levels. IgG antibodies, however, are produced more slowly in response to the infection. Levels of IgG rise with acute infection, stabilize, and persist for a long time. 

Dengue fever is usually caused by the four dengue virus serotypes, with symptoms ranging from asymptomatic infection, undifferentiated fever, dengue fever (DF) to severe dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) with or without shock.

Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) can go to a higher grade of fever. It might also include variable manifestations, like nose bleeding, vomiting blood, passing blood in the stool, breathing difficulty, cold, and clammy skin, especially in the extremities. During the second phase, the virus may attack blood vessels, causing capillaries to leak fluid into the space around the lungs (pleural effusion) or the abdominal cavity (ascites).

Dengue shock syndrome (DSS) is a severe complication of dengue fever caused when the body's immune system overreacts to the dengue virus. It can lead to a sudden drop in blood pressure and dehydration, and if not managed timely, it may lead to multiple organ failures. 

A Dengue Antibody, IgM test measures the presence of Immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies in the blood. It specifically detects the dengue-specific IgM antibodies produced by the body in response to the dengue virus. When a dengue infection occurs, IgM antibodies are the first line of defense. It helps identify recent dengue virus infection as the production of IgM antibodies typically occurs within the first few days to a couple of weeks after the onset of the symptoms.

A Dengue IgG Antibody test measures the presence of Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies specific to Dengue virus in the blood.  These antibodies typically appear in the blood a few weeks after the onset of dengue symptoms or exposure to the virus. However, this can vary, but generally IgG antibodies become detectable during the recovery phase of the infection. 

IgG antibodies indicate a past exposure or infection with the Dengue virus and provide information about the individual’s immune response to the virus.a
