LOINC display name : DENV IgG and IgM IA.rapid Nom (S/P/Bld);
LOINC long common name : Dengue virus IgG and IgM [Identifier] in Serum, Plasma or Blood by Rapid immunoassay;
LOINC short name : DENV IgG IgM SerPlBld IA.rapid;
LOINC description : A rapid immunochromatographic qualitative screening assay for IgG and IgM antibodies
to Dengue virus. In primary dengue infection, a strong IgM antibody response occurs
and is detectable by the fourth day of illness. A weaker IgG response becomes detectable
after one week of symptoms. Low levels of IgG persist for life but if the patient
becomes infected again, a strong IgG response can be detected two days after onset
of symptoms, while a weaker IgM response is detectable four to five days after symptoms
begin. This makes combination IgG & IgM Dengue antibody rapid tests very useful in
endemic areas. Many companies make kits for this test, which is done in many regions
of the world. Most of the kits are for ser/plas and testing can be performed in approximately
30 minutes or less. Some are for ser/plas/bld.;
