Performance of Fujifilm Dengue NS1 Antigen Rapid Diagnosis Kit Compared to Quantitative Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction.

ABSTRACT: Dengue is a viral infection caused by the dengue virus (DENV), transmitted to humans through the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes. About half of the world's population is now at risk of dengue, which represents a global public health concern, especially in tropical and subtropical countries. Early detection of the viral infection is crucial to manage the disease; hence, effective rapid diagnostic tests are essential. In this study, we evaluated the performance between the new Fujifilm Dengue non-structural antigen diagnosis kit (FF NS1 kit) and the SD Bioline NS1 antigen test kit (SD NS1 kit) against the quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assays. The 140 acute serum samples collected from the Yangon General Hospital and Yangon Children's Hospital, Myanmar, f
