What is the Dengue IgG IgM Test?

The dengue IgG and IgM test is a blood test that looks for antibodies against the dengue virus. IgM appears first and points to a recent infection, while IgG rises later and stays for years. Together they help show whether dengue is current, recent or old, and whether it may be a repeat infection.

What your Dengue IgG IgM Test result means

IgM positive, IgG negative: Suggests a recent first dengue infection, when the symptoms fit. A doctor may confirm with NS1 or by repeating the test.
IgM and IgG both positive: Can mean a recent infection on top of an earlier one, or a first infection late in its course. Repeat dengue infections are the ones more likely to become severe, so the doctor watches closely.
IgG positive, IgM negative: Usually points to an infection in the past. In a fever that started very recently it may also be an early repeat infection, which a doctor judges along with other tests.
Both negative: No dengue antibodies yet. If the fever is only a few days old, dengue is not ruled out and the test may be repeated or NS1 sent.

One result is not a diagnosis. A doctor reads it with your symptoms, history, medicines and other tests.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between dengue IgG and IgM?

IgM is the early antibody and suggests a recent infection. IgG comes later, stays for years and shows past exposure. In a repeat infection IgG rises fast and strongly.

On which day should the dengue IgG IgM test be done?

Antibodies are usually detectable from about day 4 to 5 of fever. In the first days the NS1 antigen test is more useful, and the two are often done together.

Does dengue IgM positive confirm dengue?

It strongly supports dengue when the symptoms fit, but IgM can cross-react with other viruses such as Japanese encephalitis or Zika, and can stay positive for weeks. A doctor decides using symptoms, platelet count and other tests.

What does dengue IgG positive mean?

It means your body has met the dengue virus at some time. On its own it does not tell whether the infection is current.

When do dengue symptoms need hospital care?

Go to a hospital at once for severe stomach pain, repeated vomiting, bleeding from the gums or nose, black stools, cold clammy skin, extreme tiredness or restlessness, or trouble breathing. These warning signs often appear around the time the fever falls, days 3 to 7, and need urgent care whatever the report says.
