Questions about this test
Why does the day of fever matter for testing?
Some tests, such as dengue NS1, work early, while antibody tests turn positive later. Your doctor chooses tests based on how many days you have had fever.
Why is the platelet count watched during fever?
Platelets can fall in dengue and some other infections. Repeat counts help doctors judge how you are doing.
What warning signs need urgent care?
Severe tummy pain, repeated vomiting, bleeding gums, drowsiness or passing very little urine need urgent care. Do not wait for test results if you notice these.
