Dangue Report

This document contains the results of a dengue rapid test for a 22-year-old male patient. The test results show that the patient tested positive for Dengue NS1 antigen and negative for both Dengue virus IgG and IgM antibodies. The document also provides context about dengue diagnostic testing, noting that NS1 antigen appears early in infection while IgG antibodies appear later. It advises confirming positive rapid test results with ELISA testing due to some sensitivity and specificity concerns with point-of-care tests.
