26
Q

first day and up to ____ days after the onset of fever in the sample
of primary and secondary dengue infected patients.

A

9 days

27
Q

28
Q

qualitative and differential detection of _________ and ______antibodies
to dengue virus in human serum or plasma

A

IgG
IgM

29
Q

SD Bioline Dengue IgG/IgM Test device has 3 pre-coated lines

A

G - dengue IgG
M - dengue IgM
C - control

30
Q

is used for procedural control

A

Control line

31
Q

qualitative determination of dengue NS-1 antigen in
________, ________, and ______for the diagnosis
of early acute dengue infection.

A

human serum, plasma or whole blood

32
Q

Volume of serum used in dengue test

A

5ul

33
Q

Volume of serum used in test kit

A

5ul

34
Q

Test kit Do not read test results after

A

20 mins

35
Q

Volume of assay diluent

A

3-4 drops or 90-120ul)

36
Q

Test kit result should be read in _______minutes.
Reading too late can give false results

A

15-20 mins

37
Q

Negative- The control line is only visible on the test device indicates

A

No IgG and IgM antibodies were
detected. Retest in 3-5 days if dengue infection is suspected.

38
Q

IgM Positive- The Control Line and IgM Line are visible on the test device

A

positive for IgM antibodies to Dengue virus.
primary dengue infection

39
Q

IgG Positive- The control line and IgG Line are visible on the test device

A

This is positive for IgG antibodies.
secondary or previous dengue infection

40
Q

IgG and IgM Positive- The control, IgG, IgM lines are visible on the test device

A

This is positive
for both IgM and IgG antibodies.
late primary or early secondary dengue infection

41
Q

Invalid- The control line fails to appear

A

Insufficient specimen volume or incorrect procedural
techniques are the likeliest reasons for control line failure. Repeat the test using a new test
device.
