About the Dengue Test (NS1 Antigen, IgM & IgG)
The dengue test checks your blood for signs of infection with the dengue virus. NS1 antigen is a viral protein found in the blood in the first few days of fever, while IgM and IgG are antibodies your body makes in response — IgM appears first and points to a recent infection, and IgG appears later and points to past exposure.
Which marker is positive depends on how many days you have had fever, so the three are tested together. A dengue test confirms the infection; it does not show how severe it is. For that, doctors monitor your platelet count and hematocrit with a CBC, which is why a CBC and platelet count are commonly added.
What is Included?
- Dengue NS1 Antigen

Preparation Before Your Dengue Test
A dengue test needs no special preparation — here's what to keep in mind before your appointment.
Dengue Test Fasting Requirement
Fasting is not required. You can eat and drink normally, and the test can be done at any time of day.
Note the Day Your Fever Started
Tell the phlebotomist or your doctor how many days you have had fever. It helps interpret which markers (NS1 or antibodies) should be positive.
Stay Hydrated and Don't Delay
Drink plenty of fluids and get tested early if fever has lasted more than 2 days with body ache, headache, or rash. Seek urgent care for severe stomach pain, repeated vomiting, or bleeding.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions patients in Chandigarh and the Tricity most often ask about the dengue test, its results, and booking.
What is a dengue test?
It is a blood test that looks for the dengue virus (NS1 antigen) or your body's antibodies against it (IgM and IgG) to confirm whether you have, or recently had, dengue.
What tests are done for dengue?
The main tests are NS1 antigen, IgM, and IgG, often done together. A CBC with platelet count is also commonly done to monitor the illness, and PCR is a more specific lab test used in some cases.
What do NS1, IgM, and IgG mean?
NS1 is a viral protein seen in the first days of fever and means current infection. IgM antibodies appear after about day 4-5 and point to a recent infection. IgG appears later and usually points to past exposure.
When is the best time to get a dengue test?
NS1 works best in the first 5 days of fever, and antibody tests (IgM) become more useful after day 5. Don't wait — if fever has lasted more than 2 days with dengue-like symptoms, get tested.
What does a positive dengue test mean?
NS1 positive means current dengue infection. IgM positive means a recent infection. IgG positive alone usually means past infection, but IgM and IgG together can suggest a recent or repeat infection. Your doctor interprets it with your symptoms.
What if NS1 is positive and IgM and IgG are negative?
This is a typical pattern in the first few days of illness — the virus is detectable, but antibodies haven't formed yet. It still counts as a positive dengue result.
Can a negative dengue test rule out dengue?
Not always. A test done too early (for antibodies) or too late (for NS1) can miss it. If symptoms continue, your doctor may repeat the test or use a different marker.
Can a CBC confirm dengue?
No. A CBC can show low platelets, low white cells, and a raised hematocrit, which suggest dengue, but only NS1, IgM/IgG, or PCR confirms it. A CBC can also be normal in the early days.
Is fasting required for a dengue test?
No. You can eat and drink normally and have the test at any time of day.
How long does a dengue test take to give results?
Rapid card tests give results in under an hour at the lab, while lab-based reports are usually ready within 24 hours of sample collection.
Can I test for dengue at home?
You can book home sample collection — a phlebotomist visits you, collects the blood, and the test is done at the lab. Rapid self-test kits exist, but a lab test is more reliable and should guide treatment.
Should I get a platelet count along with the dengue test?
Yes, doctors commonly advise a CBC with platelet count together with the dengue test, since platelets and hematocrit show how the illness is progressing.
Is home sample collection available for dengue test in Chandigarh?
Yes, Shyam Labs provides home sample collection services for Chandigarh and nearby Tricity areas, subject to service availability.
