Hi...as far as dengue is concerned the most important thing is the general well being of the the kid. If the kid is active otherwise and passing urine well, you need not worry. As there is no fever and rash - probably he had a dengue and then he is on the recovery now. The IgM positive means that the kid had dengue recently. if IgG was positive it would have meant that there was dengue infectoin in the past, but IgM denotes recent infection. NS 1 negative indicates that the infection is not it its early course. Overall by the labs it is clear that he is on his recovery path.
