Early diagnosis is important for the clinical management of diseases caused by dengue virus (DENV) infections. We investigated the performance of three commercially available DENV nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) using 173 acute-phase sera collected from dengue fever-suspected patients during the 2012–2013 DENV outbreak in Taiwan. The results of the NS1 RDTs were compared with those of qRT-PCR to calculate the sensitivity and specificity of the NS1 RDTs. The anti-DENV IgM and IgG RDT results were included to increase the probability of detecting acute DENV infection. The anti-DENV IgM/IgG RDT results were also compared with those of IgM/IgG captured ELISA. The sera from DENV qRT-PCR-positive patients were subjected to NS1 RDTs, as well as IgM/IgG captured ELISA. These results suggested that there was no significant difference in the sensitivities of the three commercially available DNEV NS1 RDTs; the SD NS1 RDT results showed the highest agreement with the qRT-PCR reference results, followed in order by the Bio-Rad and CTK NS1 RDT results when the specificity was considered. Inclusion of the IgM or IgG RDT results increased the likelihood of diagnosing either a primary or secondary DENV infection. NS1 RDTs were more sensitive for the detection of primary infections than secondary infections, related to DENV viremia levels determined by qRT-PCR. These results suggested that anti-DENV antibodies reduced the sensitivity of NS1 rapid tests. We also analyzed the sensitivity for the detection of different DENV serotypes, and the results suggested that the NS1 RDTs used in this study were valuable for rapid screening of acute DENV infection with DENV-1, DENV-2 and DENV-3. Our results suggest that the NS1 RDT is a good alternative to qRT-PCR analysis for timely dengue disease management and prevention in dengue-endemic regions where medical resources are lacking or during large dengue outbreaks. However, the relatively low sensitivity for DENV-4 might miss the detection of DENV-4-infected cases.
