Enssure Dengue IgG/IgM Assay Kit
Dengue is a flavivirus, transmitted by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. Primary Dengue infection causes IgM antibodies to increase to a detectable level in 3 to 5 days after the onset of fever. IgM antibodies generally persist for 30 to 90 days. Most Dengue patients in endemic regions have secondary infections, resulting in high levels of specific IgG antibodies prior to or simultaneous with IgM response. Therefore, the detection of specific anti-Dengue IgM and IgG antibodies can also help to distinguish between primary and secondary infections.

Dengue IgG/IgM
Product Information
Intended Use:
Rapid Dengue IgG/IgM Test is a lateral ow chromatographic immunoassay for the simultaneous detection and differentiation of Dengue IgG and IgM antibodies to dengue virus in human serum or plasma or whole blood.
Principle:
The Dengue IgG/IgM Antibody test employs a lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay. When the sample containing Dengue-specific IgM and/or IgG antibodies is added, it reacts with colloidal gold particles carrying Dengue-specific recombinant antigens, forming a complex. This complex then produces colored bands on the test and control lines, with the appearance of both indicating a positive result, while the control line alone signifies a negative result, ensuring the test's procedural and reagent integrity.
Testing Procedure
Importance to know
Warnings and Precautions
- Please read the instruction carefully before performing the test.
- Do not use the test after the expiration date.
- Immediately carry out the test after removing the test device from the pouch.
- Do not mix or interchange the specimen sample.
Limitation
- For in vitro diagnostic use only; detects Dengue antibodies in whole blood, serum, or plasma.
- Secondary infection may show low IgM and high broadly reactive IgG; cross-reaction possible.
- Negative result may occur in short-term or second-time infections; retesting recommended if suspicion persists.
- Diagnosis and treatment by a physician based on comprehensive clinical and lab evaluation.
- Antibody presence doesn't determine treatment success.
- Optimal dengue testing time is 6-14 days after fever onset.
