"There are different types of Dengue Tests like IgM, IgG, NS1 among others. The results for each test differ as they are expressed in different terms. IgM and IgG tests are for antibody detection in initial blood samples, which shows that a person got infected in recent weeks. However, if IgM is low or negative and IgG is positive it means that the person had an infection sometime in the past."

"Dengue NS1 stands for Dengue Non-Structural Protein 1, this protein is secreted by the Dengue virus in the blood during the infection."

"Normally, a person has a Platelet Count between 150,000 and 250,000 per microlitre (mcL) of blood. About 80 to 90 percent of patients with dengue have a Platelet Count below 100,000 while 10 to 20 percent have drastically low levels of 20,000 or less."
