ANTI DENGUE ANTIBODIES ( IgG, IgM)

Detection of anti-cysticercosis IgG antibodies signifies the immune system’s specific response to the larval form of the pork tapeworm, Taenia solium, known as cysticercus. Utilizing techniques like enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), these antibodies can be identified in blood or bodily fluids, providing a valuable diagnostic tool. In the context of neurocysticercosis (NCC), a parasitic infection affecting the nervous system, this testing approach proves crucial. Meanwhile, the identification of IgG-class antibodies to the dengue virus (DV) implies past exposure to the virus, typically developing around three weeks post-exposure. On the other hand, the presence of IgM-class antibodies to DV indicates an acute-phase infection, suggesting a recent exposure. Both diagnostic methods play pivotal roles in confirming infections, guiding medical interventions, and assessing the timing and nature of these respective diseases.
