For anyone on an early shift or a physically demanding job, a fever is easy to push through for a day or two. The Dengue NS1 Antigen (Rapid) test is useful precisely in those first days: it detects a protein the dengue virus releases into the blood, usually detectable up to about day 5 to 7, before dengue antibodies appear. One blood draw, no fasting, report within 12 hours, processed at a NABL-accredited laboratory in our network. From 600. A home sample can be taken before work or after a shift, with no fast to plan around. Home collection is available across Faridabad, including NIT 1, NIT 2, NIT 5, Sector 15, Sector 21C, Sector 28, Old Faridabad, Ballabgarh and Greater Faridabad. Any collection charge is shown before you confirm.

What the Dengue NS1 Rapid Test Tells You

At a Glance

Test: Dengue NS1 Antigen (Rapid). Result: Positive or negative. Price: From 600. Fasting: Not required. Sample: Blood (serum). Reports: Within 12 hours, digital. Home collection: Available across Faridabad; any charge is shown at booking. Lab: NABL-accredited. ## What NS1 Is NS1 is a protein the dengue virus produces and releases into the blood while an infection is active. It becomes detectable in the early days of fever and declines as the immune system responds. This is why the test is most informative in roughly the first five to seven days of illness; later, antibody tests — IgM, then IgG — are the better evidence. ## Making Sense of the Result A positive result indicates current dengue infection and should be taken to a doctor the same day. A negative result is not conclusive. It may be negative when the fever is several days old, when the virus level is low, or in a repeat infection, where the test detects fewer cases than in a first infection. If symptoms continue, doctors usually repeat the test or add dengue IgM and IgG. ## Fever, Shifts and Physical Work in Faridabad Faridabad's workforce includes many industrial shifts, early starts and physically demanding jobs, and a fever is often worked through for a day or two. Early testing is what makes this test reliable, so a sample taken before a shift or straight after one beats waiting for a day off. The test needs no fasting and no preparation, which is why it fits around a shift pattern more easily than most blood tests. ## Platelets and the Blood Count Doctors follow the Platelet Count across several days in dengue, since a falling trend is what guides care. The Complete Blood Count (CBC) + ESR is a separate test that can be booked together with this one. Dengue and malaria are endemic across Delhi NCR, and cases usually rise after the monsoon. ## Warning Signs Do not wait for a report if there is severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, bleeding from the gums or nose, black stools, extreme drowsiness or restlessness, or cold clammy skin as the fever settles; go to a hospital. Doctors generally advise against aspirin and ibuprofen when dengue is suspected, so ask which fever medicine is safe. Muscle aches after heavy work should not be assumed to explain a fever. ## What Is Not Included This is one test. It does not include Dengue IgM or IgG, a Platelet Count or full blood count, dengue PCR or serotyping, or any malaria, typhoid or chikungunya test. The Dengue Profile-Rapid Dengue IgG, Dengue IgM, Dengue NS1 Ag covers all three dengue markers in one booking and suits a fever already several days old. Results should be read by a doctor alongside symptoms. Content last reviewed: October 2026

Who Should Get a Dengue NS1 Test?

  • Shift workers in Faridabad who keep working through a fever – Pushing through a fever for a day or two is common on industrial and early shifts, and it is exactly what weakens an NS1 result. A sample before or after a shift keeps the test inside the first days of illness, when it is most reliable.
  • Anyone in the first five days of a fever – NS1 is detectable from the early days of illness, before dengue antibodies appear. After about a week a negative NS1 means much less and doctors usually move to IgM and IgG.
  • People with severe body ache, headache behind the eyes or a rash – These are common in dengue and are why doctors order the test early. Do not put body pain down to heavy work if it comes with fever. None of the symptoms is specific, so the result is read alongside them.
  • Anyone whose platelet count has begun to fall – A falling platelet count in a person with fever is a reason to confirm or exclude dengue. Add a Platelet Count to follow the trend, since several readings matter more than one.
  • Families in the older residential sectors with a child or elderly parent unwell – Home collection saves taking a feverish child or an older parent across town. Early confirmation tells the family how closely to watch them.
  • Residents of Faridabad during and after the monsoon – Dengue and malaria are endemic across Delhi NCR, and cases usually rise after the rains. A fever in that season deserves an early test rather than several days of treating it as an ordinary viral illness.

How to Prepare

Fasting: Not required. Eat and drink normally. Timing: Book as soon as the fever starts. The test is most useful in roughly the first five to seven days. Note when the fever began and tell your doctor. Sample: One venous blood draw. Nothing else is collected. Medicines: Continue prescribed medicines. Doctors generally advise against aspirin and ibuprofen when dengue is suspected; ask your doctor what is safe. Around your shift: the sample can be taken before work or straight after a shift, at home or at the workplace address. Heavy physical work does not need to be avoided for this test, but a fever with body pain should not be dismissed as tiredness. Home collection: Available across Faridabad — NIT 1, 2, 3 and 5, Sector 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 21A to 21D, 28, 29, 31, 37, Old Faridabad, Ballabgarh, Neharpar, Greater Faridabad and Surajkund. Any collection charge is shown at booking. Reports: Digital, within 12 hours of collection, with the result marked positive or negative.

What Is Included, and What Is Not

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about Dengue NS1 Antigen (Rapid) in Faridabad

What does the dengue NS1 rapid test detect?

It detects NS1, a protein the dengue virus releases into the blood during active infection. The result is qualitative: positive or negative. NS1 can be found from the early days of fever, usually up to about day 5 to 7.

What is the price of a dengue NS1 test in Faridabad?

It starts from 600 in Faridabad. Home sample collection is available across the city and any collection charge is shown in the booking flow before you confirm. Digital reports are included.

Is home collection available in Faridabad?

Yes, across Faridabad including NIT 1, 2, 3 and 5, Sector 15, 21C, 28, 29, Old Faridabad, Ballabgarh, Neharpar and Greater Faridabad. Any collection charge is shown before you confirm.

I work shifts. Can the sample be taken before or after work?

Yes. The test needs no fasting and no preparation, so a sample can be taken at any hour, at home or at a workplace address you give at booking. Early testing matters more than a convenient time.

Can physical work or exercise affect a dengue NS1 result?

Heavy work does not change whether NS1 is detected, so there is no need to avoid it for this test. The caution runs the other way: fever with body pain should not be put down to tiredness from work. If the fever lasts more than a day or two, test early.

On which day of fever should I take the test?

As early as possible, ideally within the first five days. NS1 is highest early and falls as the immune system responds. After about a week dengue IgM and IgG are more informative, and a negative NS1 means much less.

Does a negative NS1 rule out dengue?

No. It can be negative when the fever is more than a few days old, when the virus level is low, or in a repeat infection. If symptoms continue, doctors usually repeat it or add dengue IgM and IgG. Do not stop follow-up because of a single negative result.

What is the difference between NS1, IgM and IgG?

NS1 is a viral protein showing current infection in the early days. IgM is the first antibody, appearing a few days in. IgG is the later antibody, which rises in a repeat infection and can persist after recovery. The Dengue Profile-Rapid Dengue IgG, Dengue IgM, Dengue NS1 Ag tests all three together.

Do I need to fast?

No. There is no fasting and no preparation. Noting the day the fever began is more useful than any preparation.

How long does the report take?

Digital reports are issued within 12 hours of sample collection, with the result marked positive or negative.

Should I also get a platelet count?

Often, yes. Doctors follow the blood count in dengue, and a falling Platelet Count is the figure they watch. Serial counts over several days tell more than a single reading. Platelet Count and the Complete Blood Count (CBC) + ESR can be booked with this test.

Which symptoms mean I should go to hospital instead of waiting for the report?

Severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, bleeding from the gums or nose, black stools, extreme drowsiness or restlessness, or cold clammy skin as the fever settles. These can signal severe dengue and should be seen urgently. This is general information, not medical advice.

Is the lab NABL-accredited?

Yes. Your sample is processed at a NABL-accredited laboratory in our network. NABL accreditation is granted to individual laboratories after evaluation of their equipment, processes and personnel. It is not a company-wide certification, and HealthVas does not claim to hold accreditation itself.
