    Serology Report: Test Units Normal Range

    Uploaded by

    Krishna Shrestha
    The serology report for 54-year-old female patient Sanu Maya Thapa shows negative results for Dengue fever IgM, IgG, and NS1 antigen tests. The interpretation is that this rules out both a primary or secondary dengue infection. However, the report notes limitations including that a negative result does not rule out a recent infection, detectable antigens may not be present during sample collection, and cross-reactivity with other flaviviruses is possible. The patient is advised to get retested in 3-4 days if dengue infection is still suspected.

    SEROLOGY REPORT
    Test Report Units Normal Range

    DENGUE FEVER IgM NEGATIVE

    DENGUE FEVER IgG NEGATIVE

    DENGUE FEVER Ag NS1 NEGATIVE

    INTERPRETATION OF RESULT:

    Positive for IgM antibodies : Primary dengue infection.


    Positive for IgG antibodies : Secondary Dengue
    infection.
    Positive for IgM & IgG antibodies : Secondary Dengue infection.

    Limitations of the Test:


    (1) A negative result can occor if the quantity of Dengue virus NS1 antigen present in the specimen is
    below the detection limits of the assay, or the antigens that are detected are not present during the stage
    of disease in which a sample is collected.
    (2) A negative test result cannot exclude a recent infection.
    (3) The presence of detectable Dengue virus NS1 Ag may mean positive for early Dengueinfection. As
    with all diagnostic tests, all results must be considered with other clinical information available to the
    physician.
    (4) In early infections and some secondary infections, detectable levels of IgM Antibodies may be
    low. Some patients may not produced detectable levels of antibody within the first seven to ten days
    after infection. Where symptoms persist, patients should be re-tested 3-4 days after the first
    specimen.
    (5) Serological cross-reactivity across the Flavivirus group (Dengue Virus, St.Louis encephalitis,
    Japanese encephalitis, West Nile and Yellow Fever Virus) is common.

    Note: Retest in 3-4 days if dengue infection is suspected.
