Result Interpretation Dengue IgG: Less than 1.65 ISR: Negative - No significant level of detectable dengue fever virus IgG antibody. 1.65-2.84 ISR: Equivocal - Questionable presence of antibodies. Repeat testing in 10-14 days may be helpful. Greater than 2.84 ISR: Positive - IgG antibody to dengue fever virus detected, which may indicate a current or past infection. Dengue IgM: Less than 1.65 ISR: Negative - No significant level of detectable dengue fever virus IgM antibody. 1.65-2.84 ISR: Equivocal - Questionable presence of antibodies. Repeat testing in 10-14 days may be helpful. Greater than 2.84 ISR: Positive - IgM antibody to dengue fever virus detected, which may indicate a current or recent infection. However, low levels of IgM antibodies may occasionally persist for more than 12 months post-infection.
