Dengue Test in Mandi Bahauddin
NS1 antigen from day one of fever, plus IgG/IgM antibodies and daily platelet monitoring.
Why this test is done
Dengue arrives in Mandi Bahauddin every monsoon, and the difference between a mild illness and a dangerous one is usually how early it is caught and how carefully the platelets are watched. The NS1 antigen turns positive from the first day of fever; IgM appears after about five days. During the season we keep dengue testing and CBC available all day, every day, with priority reporting.
What is included
- Dengue NS1 antigen
- Dengue IgG and IgM antibodies

Fasting: Not required

Bring your doctor's prescription and any previous reports of the same test. Comparing today's result with an older one is often more useful than the number on its own, so we keep your history on file and print the comparison where it helps.

Frequently asked questions
On which day of fever should a dengue test be done?
NS1 antigen from day 1 to day 5 of fever. From day 5 onwards, IgM and IgG antibodies are the right tests. If the fever started today, NS1 plus a CBC is the correct combination.
How low do platelets have to go before it is dangerous?
Below 100,000 needs close monitoring and below 50,000 usually needs hospital care — but the trend matters more than a single number, along with warning signs such as bleeding, severe abdominal pain or vomiting. Repeat the CBC daily as advised by your doctor.
Do you test for dengue on Sunday?
Yes. We are open seven days a week, 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM, and dengue testing runs throughout the season including Sundays and public holidays.
