Currently, the only tests capable of determining the serotype associated with dengue virus (DENV) infection require sampling during the period of acute viremia. No test can accurately detect the serotype associated with past DENV infections. The standard assay for determination of serotype-specific antibody against DENV is the plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT), although performance of this test continues to be evaluated.
