Abbott Panbio Early Rapid Test For Dengue (25 Tests/kit) by Abbott

Abbott/Alere Panbio Dengue Early Rapid

Dengue virus is a flavivirus found largely in areas of the tropics and sub-tropics.

Over half the worlds population lives in regions at risk of potential dengue transmission, making dengue the most important arbovirus disease in humans, in terms of morbidity and mortality.

There are four distinct but antigenically related serotypes of dengue viruses, and transmission is via female mosquito, principally Aedes aegypti Aedes albopictus, and Aedes polynesienses.

The Panbio Dengue Duo Cassette is a rapid immunochromatography test used to detect IgM and high-titre IgG antibodies to dengue virus in human serum, plasma, and whole blood.

Convenient: Enabling differentiation between primary and secondary infection through a single application of specimen.

Quick: In primary infections, serum IgM antibodies can be detected from dengue patients as early as 3 to 5 days after the onset of fever.

The Panbio Dengue Early Rapid is a dengue NS1 antigen serum, plasma or whole blood immunochromatographic assay.

It is for the qualitative detection of NS1 antigen in serum, plasma or whole blood used as an aid in the clinical laboratory diagnosis of patients with clinical symptoms consistent with dengue fever.

The Panbio Dengue Early Rapid should be used in conjunction with other dengue serology tests.

Benefits

• NS1 antigen can be detected in serum from day 1 after onset of fever and up to day 91,2,3. This compares to IgM antibodies that are not detectable until days 4-54,5 .
• The new device format for dengue NS1 detection performed better, is easy to use and interpret compared to the strip format.
