Dengue RNA Detection Qualitative Test
Introduction to the Test
The Dengue RNA Detection Qualitative Test is a critical diagnostic tool for identifying dengue fever, a viral infection transmitted primarily by the Aedes mosquitoes. This test is vital for patients presenting with symptoms of dengue, allowing for timely diagnosis and appropriate management of the disease. Using advanced Real Time PCR technology, this test detects the RNA of the dengue virus, ensuring high sensitivity and specificity in results.
What the Test Measures
This test measures the presence of dengue virus RNA in the blood, which is an indicator of an active dengue infection. It is particularly useful in the early stages of the disease when antibodies may not yet be detectable.

- Those exhibiting symptoms such as high fever, severe headaches, joint and muscle pain, rash, and fatigue.
- Individuals who have traveled to areas where dengue fever is endemic.
- Patients with a history of exposure to mosquito bites in dengue-prone regions.
Benefits of Taking the Test
Taking the Dengue RNA Detection Qualitative Test offers numerous benefits:
- Early and accurate diagnosis of dengue fever.
- Guidance for timely medical treatment and intervention.
- Helps in monitoring the progression of the disease.
- Peace of mind for patients and their families.
