Infectious/ Contagious diseases

Dengue Antigen NS1 (NS1Ag) detects the virus's non-structural protein component (NS1), while IgG & IgM are antibodies the body produces in response to the infection. NS1 and IgM are secreted into the blood during infection and are detectable within 3-4 days of illness. This test aids early diagnosis and treatment of dengue infection. IgG antibodies appear after the 14th day of infection and persist for life.
Dengue NS1 antigen is found in serum during the acute phase of infection, typically during days 1-5 after the onset of symptoms. NS1 antigen may be positive when IgM detection assays are negative. After three days of symptoms, the viral antigen level in the blood drops so low that the test might be negative.
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is often symptomless, or the symptoms are indistinguishable from other mild illnesses. People with EBV infection usually get better in two to four weeks. After getting an EBV infection, the virus becomes inactive in your body but may sometimes reactivate. IgM antibodies indicate present infection, while positive IgG shows past exposure to EBV.
