We often see news that “many people in many parts of the world have been infected with dengue virus, causing serious life and health safety problems.”
So, what is 【Dengue Virus】? What means can we use to make accurate judgments and provide auxiliary diagnosis for subsequent treatment plans?
Dengue virus (DENV) is a mosquito-borne virus belonging to the Flaviviridae family and the genus Flavivirus. It is the pathogen of dengue fever and is mainly transmitted by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. These mosquitoes usually live in tropical and subtropical areas.
There are four serotypes of dengue virus (DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, DENV-4). After being infected with one of the serotypes, you may gain lifelong immunity to that type, but immunity to other types is limited. Reinfection with other serotypes may cause more severe illness, including dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS), which may be fatal.
The symptoms of dengue fever mainly include: high fever, headache, pain behind the eye sockets, muscle and joint pain (hence it is also called "breakbone fever"), nausea and vomiting, rash, bleeding symptoms (such as bleeding gums, nosebleeds), etc. There is currently no specific drug to treat dengue fever. Supportive therapy is mainly used, such as fluid supplementation, antipyretic and analgesic drugs. Preventive measures mainly focus on controlling mosquito breeding and preventing mosquito bites. In recent years, some vaccines are also being developed and have begun to be used in some areas.
For dengue virus, Bioteke Corporation has developed the [Dengue NS1 Rapid Antigen Test] to help people make early rapid qualitative diagnosis.
Bioteke's Dengue Virus NS1 Antigen Rapid Test Kit is an efficient and convenient early diagnostic tool designed for the detection of dengue virus (DENV) . The The kit uses immunochromatographic technology to quickly detect NS1 antigen in the patient's blood at the early stage of infection, helping medical professionals to promptly detect and manage dengue cases.
Dengue NS1 is a non-structural protein (Non-Structural Protein 1) produced by the dengue virus when it infects cells. NS1 protein appears in the patient's blood early in the infection (usually 1 to 7 days after the onset of symptoms), so it can be used as a marker for early diagnosis of dengue infection.
