Evaluating Three Rapid Tests for Dengue in Febrile Patients in a Dengue‐Endemic Area

Key Points

Rapid tests may effectively replace RT-PCR during emergencies for dengue diagnosis.
These tests should factor in the history of dengue infection and serotype circulation in populations.
Observation included febrile patients from a dengue-endemic area, reflecting real-world applicability.
This could improve rapid diagnosis, but further understanding of serotype variation is essential.

Abstract

Although these tests can serve as an alternative to RT-PCR in emergencies, they should always be accompanied by a study that considers the history of predominant infection in the population and the circulation of serotypes.
