Collect

Serum separator tube.

Specimen Preparation

Separate serum from cells ASAP or within 2 hours of collection. Transfer 1 mL serum to an ARUP Standard Transport Tube. (Min: 0.1 mL) Parallel testing is preferred and convalescent specimens must be received within 30 days from receipt of the acute specimens. Mark specimens plainly as "acute or convalescent."

Unacceptable Conditions

Contaminated, heat-inactivated, hemolyzed, or severely lipemic specimens.

Storage/Transport Temperature

Refrigerated.

Stability (from collection to initiation)

After separation from cells: Ambient: 48 hours; Refrigerated: 2 weeks; Frozen: 1 year (avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles)

Performed

Mon, Wed, Fri

Methodology

Semi-Quantitative Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay

Reported

1-4 days

Synonyms

  • LAB3009
  • DFV IGG

Ordering Recommendations

Aid in detecting past dengue infection. In endemic regions, recommend co-testing for other arthropod-born viruses including chikungunya and Zika due to overlapping symptoms.

Reference Interval

1.64 IV or less: Negative - No significant level of detectable dengue fever virus IgG antibody.
1.65-2.84 IV: Equivocal - Questionable presence of antibodies.  Repeat testing in 10-14 days may be helpful.
2.85 IV or greater: Positive - IgG antibody to dengue fever virus detected, which may indicate a current or past infection.

Interpretive Data

Patients in the early stage of dengue fever virus infection may not have detectable IgG antibodies, as the IgG response may take several weeks to develop.  In the absence of detectable IgG, testing for IgM class antibody is strongly recommended.  The best evidence for current infection is a significant change on two appropriately timed specimens, where both tests are done in the same laboratory at the same time.
