Dengue fever testing is used to determine whether a person with signs and symptoms and recent potential exposure has been infected with the dengue virus.Positive:The presence of dengue nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) antigen is consistent with acute-phase infection with dengue virus.The NS1 antigen is typically detectable within 1 to 2 days following infection and up to 9 days following symptom onset. NS1 antigen may also be detectable during secondary dengue virus infection, but for a shorter duration of time (1-4 days following symptom onset).Negative:The absence of dengue NS1 antigen is consistent with the lack of acute-phase infection. The NS1 antigen may be negative if specimen is collected immediately following dengue virus infection (<24-48 hours) and is rarely detectable following 9 to 1 days of symptoms.
