  abstract = {{T}he {D}engue {D}uo {R}apid {D}iagnostic {T}est ({SD} {D}engue {RDT}) has good specificity and sensitivity for dengue diagnosis in rural tropical areas. {I}n a previous study, using four control sera, we demonstrated that that the diagnostic accuracy of these {RDT}s remains stable after longterm storage at high temperatures. {W}e extended this study by testing sera from 119 febrile patients collected between {J}uly-{N}ovember 2012 at {S}alavan {P}rovincial {H}ospital (southern {L}aos) with {RDT}s stored for 6 months at 4 degrees {C}, 35 degrees and in a hut (miniature traditional house) at {L}ao ambient temperatures. {T}he dengue {NS}1 antigen results from {RDT}s stored at 35 degrees {C} and in the hut demonstrated 100% agreement with those stored at 4 degrees {C}. {H}owever, lower positive percent agreements, with broad 95% {CI}, were observed for the tests: {I}g{M}, 60% (14.7-94.7) and 40% (5.3-85.3) for {RDT}s store at 35 degrees {C} and in the hut, compared to those stored at 4 degrees {C}, respectively. {T}his study strenghtens the evidence of the robustness of the {NS}1 antigen detection {RDT} for the diagnosis of dengue after storage at tropical temperatures.},
