ProDetect® Dengue NS1 Antigen Rapid Test is a rapid immunochromatographic test for the visual screening of dengue NS1 antigen in human whole blood, serum or plasma as an aid in the diagnosis of dengue infection. For in vitro and professional use only. Dengue fever, also known as breakbone fever, is an infectious tropical disease caused by the dengue virus. Dengue viruses, transmitted by the Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes are widely distributed throughout the tropical and sub-tropical areas of the world. There are four known distinct serotypes (dengue virus 1, 2, 3 and 4). In children, infection is subclinical or causes a self-limiting febrile disease. However, if the patient is infected a second time with a different serotype, a more severe disease, dengue hemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome, is more likely to occur. Dengue is considered to be the most important arthropod-borne viral disease due to the human morbidity and mortality it causes. NS1 is a highly conserved glycoprotein that is present at high concentrations in sera of dengue-infected patients during the early clinical phase of disease. NS1 antigen is found on the first day and up to 9 days after onset of illness in cases of primary or secondary dengue infected patients. ProDetect® Dengue NS1 Antigen Rapid Test utilizes dengue NS1 antigen for dengue diagnosis. Hospitals & Clinics, Diagnostic Laboratories, Research Institutions
