Dengue virus IgM in serum (DENV Detect IgM Capture ELISA)

Indications: - diagnosis of dengue fever Notes: - IgM antibody response to the dengue virus infection is not detectable until 3-5 days after the onset of fever - during this 'IgM negative window' the dengue virus is present in the bloodstream; thus leading to a false negative test - the test shows cross-reaction with other closely related viruses including West Nile virus - there are currently no FDA-cleared or approved tests for direct detection of dengue virus [1]
