Dengue viruses, transmitted by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes, are widely distributed throughout the tropical and subtropical areas of the world. There are four known distinct serotypes (dengue virus 1, 2, 3, and 4). In children, infection is often sub-clinical or causes a self-limited febrile disease. However, if the patient is injected 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 associated with it.
Rapid and reliable tests for primary and secondary infections of dengue are essential for patient management. Primary dengue infection is associated with mild to high fever, headache, muscle pain, and skin rash. Immune response includes IgM antibodies produced by the 3rd to 5th day of symptoms and persist for 30-60 days. IgG appear the 14th day and persist for life. Secondary infections often result in high fever and in many cases with haemorrhagic events and circulatory failure. Secondary infections show that IgGs rise within 1-2 days after the onset of symptoms and induce IgM response after 20 days of infection.
Dengue IgG/IgM Rapid Test is a solid phase immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative and differential detection of IgG and IgM antibodies to dengue virus in human serum, plasma or whole blood. This test is intended for professional use as an aid in the presumptive diagnosis between primary and secondary dengue infection. This test provides only a preliminary test result. Therefore, a more specific diagnosis method must be used in order to obtain a confirmation of dengue virus infection.
