Dengue Combi rapid test is an in-vitroimmunochromatographic one step assay designed to detect both dengue NS1 antigen and differential lgG/IgM antibodies to dengue virus in human serum/plasma. Dengue viruses transmitted by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes, are widely distributed throughout the tropical and sub topical areas of the world. There are four known distinct serotypes (dengue virus 1,2,3 and 4). Dengue is considered to be the most important arthropodborne viral disease due to the human morbidity and mortality associated with it. NS1 is a highly-conserved glycoprotein that is present at high concentrations in the sera of dengue infected patients during the early clinical phase of the disease. NS1 antigen is found from the first day and up to 9 days after onset of fever in sample of primary or secondary dengue infected patients. Usually lgM does not become detectable until 5 to 10 days after the onset of illness in cases of primary dengue infection and until 4 to 5 days after onset of illness in secondary infections. In primary infections, IgG appears on the 14th day and persist for life. Secondary infections shows that lgG rise within 1-2 days after the onset of symptoms and induces lgM response after 20 days of infection.
