Dengue NS1 is accurate only in the first 5 days of fever. After day 5 it often turns negative even in genuine dengue, and IgM becomes the right test instead. So the day your fever started matters as much as the test itself. Tell us when it began and we will advise which panel to run.
Dengue, malaria, typhoid and viral fever look almost identical in the first few days — but are treated very differently.
Dengue causes platelet counts to fall, sometimes sharply, several days into the illness. A CBC alongside the dengue test establishes the baseline your doctor will track.
Cyclical fever with chills and sweating is the classic pattern. A rapid antigen test covering both falciparum and vivax gives an answer the same day.
Typhoid fever climbs in a step-ladder pattern over days rather than spiking suddenly. Widal is the common screening test; IgG/IgM is more specific.
Severe joint pain that persists for weeks after the fever settles is characteristic. Distinguishing it from dengue matters for what to expect in recovery.
A negative dengue and malaria result is genuinely useful — it tells your doctor to stop looking there and consider other causes.
Home collection exists precisely for this. Sitting in a waiting room with a high fever helps nobody, and we would rather come to you.

It depends on how long you have had it. Within the first 5 days, Dengue NS1 antigen plus a CBC with platelet count is the usual starting point, often with malaria antigen alongside. From day 5, Dengue IgM replaces NS1. If the fever has been building slowly over a week, typhoid testing is more relevant. Tell us when it started and we will advise.
Dengue NS1 Antigen is ₹350 at Kranthi Diagnostics, down from ₹700 MRP. Dengue IgG and IgM are ₹250 each. Most doctors also ask for a CBC with platelet count at ₹250, since falling platelets are what needs monitoring in dengue.
Because Dengue NS1 antigen is only reliable in the first 5 days of fever. After that it frequently turns negative even in genuine dengue, and IgM antibodies become the accurate test instead. Getting the timing wrong can produce a falsely reassuring result, which is why we always ask when your fever began.
Yes, and we would strongly recommend it. We cover Pragathi Nagar, Nizampet, Kukatpally, KPHB, Miyapur and Bachupally. Travelling while running a high fever is unpleasant and unnecessary. A fever panel usually exceeds ₹1,000, which makes collection free.
Most fever panel reports reach your WhatsApp within 4 to 6 hours. This matters in dengue in particular, where a doctor may want to start monitoring platelets the same day rather than waiting until tomorrow.
Often, yes. If NS1 is negative but fever continues past day 5, IgM should be tested. And in confirmed dengue, the CBC is usually repeated every 24 to 48 hours to track platelet counts through the critical phase — that repeat testing matters more than the original diagnosis.
A normal platelet count is roughly 150,000 to 450,000. In dengue it commonly falls; below 100,000 warrants closer monitoring and below 50,000 usually means hospital care. That said, the trend matters more than any single number, and your doctor should be interpreting it alongside your symptoms — not you alone.
