What does Dengue Antigen (Ns1) measure?
- Dengue Antigen (Ns1) Test is used to detect the presence of the dengue virus in a person showing dengue-related symptoms. The test is more reliable during the acute phase of infection with the dengue virus. That is, from day 1 of onset of fever till day 7. After 7 days, a different antibody called IgM is used for detecting dengue infection. The Dengue Antigen test includes detecting a non-structural protein called NS1, which is a protein produced by the dengue virus in the blood.
- Synthetic antibodies used in the test kit bind to the NS1 proteins that are released by the virus in the serum, thus helping in detecting the presence of the dengue virus. Therefore, an NS1 positive Dengue Antigen test indicates the presence of viral infection.
What preparation is needed for the Dengue Antigen (Ns1) test?

What do abnormal results indicate?
The presence of the NS1 antigen can be found during the acute phase i.e. during the first week after the infection. The results are either positive (antigen present) or negative (no antigen present) (antigen absent). For all age categories, the reference is the same.
Positive (>1.1): Indicates the presence of acute-phase dengue infection in the body.
Negative (<0.9): Indicates different scenarios.
- If the test is negative, it might mean that there is no dengue infection.
- If the test is conducted between 12-24 hours from the start of fever, the result might be "undecidable". The test has to be repeated after 24 hours.
- If the test is negative, but a person has symptoms related to dengue fever then the test result might be considered as "False Negative". The repeat test or additional tests may be advised by your doctor.
- If the test is taken after the acute phase, then this test is not reliable. An additional antibody (IgM) test is required for diagnosis.
