A dengue test looks for the NS1 antigen in the blood, which can show an active infection in its early days. It is considered by people with symptoms such as fever, severe headache, pain behind the eyes, muscle pain and extreme fatigue, or with recent exposure in endemic areas.
A test result supports a doctor's assessment but does not replace it. Dengue can become serious, so warning signs need prompt medical attention rather than waiting for a booking.
The test does not require fasting, which makes it simple to schedule when symptoms appear.
