The Dengue virus causes significant morbidity and mortality in many parts of the world, including India, where it was first isolated in Calcutta, West Bangal during 1945.This study was conducted to know comparative and evaluation of Dengue by rapid serological card test and ELISA kit with revealing variation in result using clinical Sample at tertiary Care Hospital Pacific Institute of Medical Science, Udaipur, Rajasthan Aim and Objectives: Evaluation of Dengue by Rapid Test and ELISA Kit using Clinical Sample and comparison of these two tests. Material and Methods: Blood for serological studies are carefully collected taking due universal precaution from suspected DF/DHF cases as soon as possible after hospital admission or attendance. All the patient were screened for anti-dengue IgM and IgG antibody By Enzyme Immunoassay.The study period was 12 month from 2021. Reasult: From a total of 595 serum sample tested were screened for Dengue IgM and IgG among which 210(35%) were positive. 85(4047%) were only IgM positive and 45(21.4%) of the tested sample showed onlyI gG positive. 80(38.09%) of the tested samples revealed positive for both IgM and IgG antibodies.
