Both IgG and IgM positive (Late primary or early secondary dengue infection)

50
Q

Most likely reasons for control line failure

A
  • Insufficient spx volume

- Incorrect procedural technique

51
Q

a negative test result cannon exclude a recent infection

A

TRUE

52
Q

presence of detectable NS-1 antigen

A

may mean positive for early dengue infection

detectable levels of IgM may be LOW

A

early primary infections and some secondary infections

54
Q

Some patients may nit produce detectable levels of antibody within how many days

A

first 7-10 days after infection, when symptoms persist px should be retested 3-4 days after the first specimen

anti-NS 1 antibodies are produced

A

detection of NS-1 antigen is inhibited

57
Q

characterized by the presence of detectable IgM 3-5 days after onset of symtomps

A

Primary dengue

58
Q

characterized by presence of specific IgG 1-2 days after onset of infection, generally accompanied by elevation of IgM
