Cautions
Test results should be used in conjunction with clinical evaluation, including exposure history and clinical presentation.
False-positive results, particularly with the dengue virus IgG enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, may occur in persons infected with other flaviviruses, including Zika virus, West Nile virus, and St. Louis encephalitis virus. Obtaining a detailed exposure history and additional laboratory testing may be necessary to determine the infecting virus.
Positive test results may not be valid in persons who have received blood transfusions or other blood products within the last several months.
The significance of a negative result in an immunosuppressed patient is unclear.
