A complete solution for dengue diagnosis – Accessible to all labs
According to WHO estimates, the dengue virus infects 100 to 400 million people worldwide every year, and it is rapidly spreading. A leading cause of serious illness and death in Asia and Latin America, dengue now affects new areas, including Europe. Early detection of disease progression associated with severe dengue is essential to reduce fatality rates. However, symptoms are not specific, and can be easily confused with other infection diseases such as malaria, chikungunya, Zika or yellow fever.
The VIDAS® Dengue panel includes the 3 serological tests recommended by international guidelines1 for accurate and early diagnosis. Accessible to all labs, they allow rapid and reliable confirmation or exclusion of dengue infection for optimized patient management and early response to severe disease.
A complete solution for dengue diagnosis
3 complementary tests :
NS1: | NS1 is an early and sensitive viral marker of acute infection. It is the best solution for virus detection adapted to labs with no access to RT-PCR. |
IgM: | If IgM appears earlier than IgG, it also disappears earlier. This makes IgM an early marker of acute primary infection. |
IgG: | IgG is widely used to determine the presence of specific immunity. |
Kinetics of Dengue virus (genome/NS1 antigen) and antibodies (IgM & IgG)
During the early phase of the disease, direct diagnostic techniques such as NS1 are preferred. Moreover, combining NS1 detection with IgM serology in routine diagnosis of dengue virus infection can help improve accuracy of dengue diagnosis2,3.
➔ Importance to combine NS1 and IgM and eventually IgG (for secondary infection)
In Post-acute phase, after 5-7 days post onset of symptoms, serological tests based on the patient’s immune response to infection (IgM and/or IgG) are commonly used4.
➔ Importance to combine IgM & IgG

Proven high performance
Based on bioMérieux’s strong expertise in Infectious Diseases, the VIDAS® Dengue panel offers high-quality reagents for reliable and clear-cut results:
VIDAS® Dengue NS1 Ag | VIDAS® Anti-Dengue IgM | VIDAS® Anti-Dengue IgG |
---|---|---|
Sensitivity equivalent to ELISA method5 | Good specificity without endogenous interferences6 (rheumatoid factor, antinuclear antibodies, …) | No cross reactivity with chikungunya, Zika, yellow fever and malaria7 |
Overall percent agreement = 96.4%5 |
Positive percent agreement combined IgG/IgM = 91.9%6,7 |
|
Excellent performance on all dengue virus serotypes for confirmation or exclusion of dengue infection No equivocal zone |
The clinical study has been performed with samples from endemic populations below :
- Latin America
- Africa
- Asia
In conclusion, the performance in the package inserts is representative of the most endemic areas.
