A performance comparison between fluorescent immunoassay and immunochromatography for rapid dengue detection in clinical specimens.

Dengue virus (DENV 1-4) infection has been a global health threat where no specific treatment is currently available. Therefore, a rapid and accurate diagnosis is critical for an appropriate management as it could reduce the burden of severe clinical manifestation. Currently, dengue immunochromatography (IC) is commonly used to primarily differentiate acute febrile illnesses.
