Understanding the test
What does the Dengue Antibody (IgG) Rapid Detection Test measure?
Also called Past Dengue Antibody (IgG)
IgG may contribute to a clinician's assessment of previous dengue exposure. A single IgG result is unsuitable as the sole test for acute dengue.
When it may be requested
Reviewing previous exposure
IgG can persist after infection and may be present when symptoms have another cause.
Choosing the right test window
The illness day and other dengue investigations determine what IgG can add.
Before your sample
Prepare for collection
SpecimenSerum
Your checklist
No fasting is needed. Record the first day of fever, travel dates, previous dengue and any relevant vaccination before the appointment.
A clinician takes a small sample of blood from a vein. The laboratory uses serum, the liquid separated from the blood after it clots.

Reading your result
Prior flavivirus infection or vaccination can complicate antibody findings. The collection date and other dengue tests are important when fever is current.
What can affect it
- A single positive IgG result cannot confirm that a current fever is dengue.

Patient questions
Before you book
Is a single positive IgG enough to explain my current fever?
No. Illness timing, past exposure, vaccination and tests directed at current infection all matter. Suspected dengue needs prompt medical assessment.
Can vaccination or another virus affect the result?
Antibodies against related viruses may cross-react in dengue antibody tests. Give your clinician your travel and vaccination history.
When could a second specimen help?
A clinician may compare acute and later samples or choose molecular or antigen testing depending on the day of illness. A single IgG measurement cannot establish when infection occurred.
