The Dengue IgM Antibody Test is a crucial diagnostic tool used to detect recent Dengue virus infections. Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral disease caused by the Dengue virus (DENV), which is transmitted primarily by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. It is prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide and often surges during and after rainy seasons. Dengue infection can range from a mild flu-like illness to severe forms such as Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) and Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS). It works by identifying IgM antibodies produced by the body in response to the virus, typically within 3 to 5 days of infection. This makes it especially useful for detecting acute dengue even before symptoms like rash or fever fully develop. The test is commonly performed in individuals with symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, joint pain, and rash, which are common to dengue.Dengue IgM Antibody Test is especially important in regions where the virus is widespread or during seasonal outbreaks, as it allows for rapid identification of infected individuals, timely clinical intervention, and helps reduce the risk of serious complications such as dengue hemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome.
