Understanding the test
What does the Dengue Fever Combined Panel (Rapid) test measure?
Also called Dengue NS1, IgG & IgM Panel
The panel combines a viral antigen with two antibody classes. This can help a clinician assess which stage of a suspected illness is plausible.
When it may be requested
Matching the illness stage
Antigen and antibody markers appear at different times during a dengue infection.
Evaluating a result pattern
The day symptoms began helps a clinician choose confirmatory testing when markers disagree.

Before your sample
Prepare for collection
SpecimenSerum
Your checklist
The panel does not require fasting. Tell the team the day symptoms began, recent travel and prior dengue or related vaccinations before the draw.
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
Read the three results separately. The significance of NS1, IgM and IgG differs, and the absence of all three early in illness does not exclude dengue.
What can affect it
- A negative combined panel alone cannot safely exclude dengue, especially early in illness.

Patient questions
Before you book
Why is the first day of fever relevant?
NS1 and the antibody response follow different timelines. Tell the clinician when fever began and where you travelled so the combination of results can be interpreted appropriately.
Does each positive marker establish acute dengue?
No. A positive NS1 antigen supports confirmed acute dengue. A single positive IgM suggests presumptive recent infection, and a single IgG result cannot diagnose acute dengue.
Does the panel tell how unwell I am?
No. Symptoms, examination and sometimes a blood count help assess severity. Warning signs can start in the 24 to 48 hours after the fever settles. Seek emergency care for severe abdominal pain, repeated vomiting or bleeding, even if your temperature is back to normal.
