What is a Dengue NS1 Antigen test?
Dengue, also known as break bone fever, is a mosquito-borne viral infection and is spread to people through the bite of an infected Aedes species mosquito. Dengue is caused by one of four viral serotypes (closely related viruses), designated DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, and DEN-4.
The best way to prevent dengue is to protect from mosquito bites. Early detection of disease and access to proper medical care lowers fatality rates to below 1%.
