What tests should be done in the case of a dengue fever?
For patients presenting during the first week after fever onset, diagnostic testing should include a test for dengue virus (rRT-PCR or NS1) and IgM. For patients presenting more than a week after fever onset, IgM detection is most useful, although NS1 has been reported positive up to 12 days after fever onset
