DENGUE
Detect and differentiate
dengue serotypes 1, 2, 3, & 4

Dengue fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever are the most prevalent mosquito-
borne viral illnesses in the world - endemic in more than 100 countries, with 2.5
billion people at risk for transmission. Monitoring for outbreaks by detecting
the emergence of new serotypes to a region permits implementation of control
measures.

Laboratory testing is important in aiding in the diagnosis of dengue infection


because dengue fever can easily be confused with other non-dengue illnesses.

Molecular testing allows early detection, which is important to diagnosing acute
