Find Clarity When Fever and Pain Strike
When sudden fever, debilitating joint pain, and overwhelming fatigue disrupt your life, you deserve answers that bring peace of mind. Our Dengue and Chikungunya RNA Detection Test provides the definitive diagnosis that can guide your recovery journey with confidence and clarity.
Understanding Your Dengue and Chikungunya Test
This advanced molecular test uses Real Time PCR technology to detect the genetic material (RNA) of both Dengue and Chikungunya viruses in your blood sample. Unlike antibody tests that can take days to become positive, our RNA detection identifies active infections early – often within the first few days of symptoms when treatment decisions matter most.
The test analyses samples including whole blood, serum, plasma, or cerebrospinal fluid, providing comprehensive detection capabilities for these mosquito-borne illnesses that are increasingly concerning in South Africa’s climate.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, this test could provide the answers you need:
- Sudden high fever (39-40°C) that appears without warning
- Severe joint pain that makes movement difficult
- Muscle aches and body pain that feels different from regular flu
- Skin rash that appears a few days after fever begins
- Headache behind the eyes or severe eye pain
- Nausea, vomiting, or fatigue that persists
Particularly important if you’ve recently traveled to areas with known mosquito activity or if multiple family members are experiencing similar symptoms.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Getting the right diagnosis early can significantly impact your recovery and prevent complications:
- Guide proper treatment – Dengue and Chikungunya require different management approaches
- Prevent severe complications like dengue hemorrhagic fever or chronic joint problems
- Reduce unnecessary antibiotic use when viral infection is confirmed
- Peace of mind knowing exactly what you’re dealing with
- Protect your family by confirming diagnosis and taking preventive measures
