Igm positive
Exactly 1 month before i was infected with severe dengue and i had to undergo platelet transfusion because platelet went as low as 20k.
2 days back i started having fever again. This time fever was around 101-102 and not high as when i got initial dengue infection.
Today i checked dengue test and it says As below
Dengue IGG - Negative
Dengue IGM - positive
NS1 Ag - Negative
Does these results mean i am infected with dengue again or is it showing positive because i was infected with dengue 30 days back.
Please advise as i am getting tensed. Also heard that second time infection can be deadly

Please specify the type of test which you got done for the diagnosis of Dengue for the first time.
Please also specify how many units of Platelets were given to you.
Please also specify what the platelet count is now .

IgG levels usually develop after resolution of the acute infective stage. In your case, IgM being negative , does rule out secondary dengue to some extent. Because in secondary dengue IgG > IgM .
Although some more tests would help your case.

It is maybe showing positive because you got previously infected with dengue virus recently
Dengue IgM can come positive after 7days of infection and can be remain positive up to 6months
So if you are having similar symptoms kr not, like you had in dengue infection, once get tested for CBP see your platelet levels, if it is normal, its most likely you due to some other infection, not because of dengue.
Next Steps
For further evaluation treatment and management for your present illness, kindly consult with me now.
