Dengue infection detection tests from Mylab Discovery Solutions include the Dengue Rapid Gold Test and the Dengue High Accuracy Dry Luminescence Assay Test.

These tests distinguish between IgM and IgG antibodies, provide point-of-care results in 15-20 minutes, and have high sensitivity and specificity for accurate results.

Positive findings help with timely intervention and patient care, especially in resource-constrained areas with high dengue prevalence.

Speaking about the launch of the Tests, Hasmukh Rawal, Co-founder & Managing Director of Mylab said,

“The introduction of these Tests reinforces our commitment to combating the rise of Dengue cases in India. These rapid point-of-care tests provide healthcare professionals with accurate and efficient tools for timely diagnosis, ultimately aiding in effective disease management”.

Positive IgM and IgG tests for dengue antibodies indicate a recent dengue virus infection. IgM antibodies are detectable in primary infections as early as the third day after infection and typically last 2-6 months. Following the appearance of IgM antibodies, Dengue IgG antibodies appear around day 7 of fever during the primary infection and can persist for an extended period of time, potentially spanning years.
