Explanation of the Test Dengue viruses transmitted by the mosquito, Aedesaegypti and
Aedesalbopictus mosquitos. There are four known distinct serotypes (dengue virus 1, 2, 3, & 4 ).
In children, infection is often subclinical or causes a self-limited febrile disease.
However, if the patient is infected the second time with a different serotype, a more severe
disease, dengue hemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome is more likely to occur. Dengue is

considered to be the most important arthropod-borne viral disease due to the human morbidity
and mortality it causes.
Intended Use
The SD BIOLINE Dengue Duo rapid test is an in-vitro immunochromatographic, one step assay
designed to detect both dengue virus NS1 antigen and differential IgG/IgM antibodies to dengue
virus in human serum, plasma or whole blood. This test is intended for professional use to aid in
the presumptive diagnosis between primary and secondary dengue infection. This SD BIOLINE
Dengue Duo provides only a preliminary test result. Therefore, isolation of virus, antigen
detection in fixed tissues, RT-CPR and serological test like haemagglutination-inhibition test,
more specific alternative diagnosis method must be used in order to obtain a confirmation of
dengue virus infection.
