Popis: The search for techniques for the diagnostic confirmation of Dengue (IgM and IgG) and recent commercialization of such serums requires of the study of their sensibility, specificity, reproductibility, speed and costs. For the purpose of comparing two serological techniques for the diagnosis of this infection, 184 serum samples of patients with confirmed diagnosis of Dengue and 60 with Rubella, were analyzed by immune-chromatographic (IC) and enzyme linked immune-absorbent tests (ELISA) by determination of anti-dengue antibody IgM and IgG. In the IC and ELISA techniques levels of 0,70 and 0,79 in nosologic sensibility were obtained, respectively in the determination of antibody IgM; while the sensibility of ELISA IgG resulted significantly elevated (p
