Apatou, French Guiana, 2020-08-27. Close-up view of an early detection test for Dengue fever, allowing the presence of the NS1 antigen, a dengue virus protein produced in excess and secreted during viral replication, to be detected within 15 minutes. It therefore also makes it possible to date the presence of the virus in the patient's body. The test presented here is positive and shows recent dengue fever.
