			<p>Dengue fever, also known as break bone fever, is a serious mosquito-borne viral
infection affecting tropical and subtropical countries. It is caused by dengue virus
belonging to family Flaviviridae, having four serotypes that spread by the bite of
infected Aedes mosquitoes. It causes a wide spectrum of illness from mild
asymptomatic illness to severe fatal dengue haemorrhagic fever/dengue shock
syndrome (DHF/DSS) The present study was conducted to diagnose the dengue
infection by detecting dengue NS-1 antigen and differential detection of dengue
specific IgM and IgG antibodies and to know the seroprevalence of Dengue virus
in a tertiary care hospital, R.R.dst. Dengue NS1 and IgM and IgG testing was done
by immunochromatography and all positives were confirmed by ELISA. A total
number of 164 samples were processed in the laboratory during a period of one
year and 36 samples tested positive for dengue infection. Among them 10 were
positive for NS1 antigen only, 4 tested positive for both NS1 and IgM, 10 tested
positive for IgM, 6 for only IgG and 6 were positive for both IgM and IgG. As
dengue related mortality and morbidity is more common, this study was conducted
to assess the magnitude of dengue virus infection.</p>
