Abstract
A total of 136 matched serum and urine samples obtained from 55 patients with dengue infection and 30 other febrile illnesses were assayed for dengue nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) antigen. The urine NS1 ELISA was positive in patients with dengue fever (68.4%) and dengue hemorrhagic fever (63.9%), whereas the strip method showed a lower positive rate.
