Dengue Fever Rapid IgG/IgM is an immunochromatographic assay designed for the

qualitative detection and differentiation of specific IgM and IgG antibodies to dengue

virus in human serum or plasma. It is intended to be used as in vitro diagnostic of dengue

fever.Positive IgM and IgG tests for dengue antibodies detected in an initial blood sample

mean that it is likely that the person became infected with dengue virus within recent

weeks. IgM antibody tests can be positive if a person has been infected with a similar virus,

such as chikungunya (called cross-reaction).
