Catching Dengue Twice

In answer to the question - Does having Dengue give immunity to catching it again? Here is a quote from a medical source. "The virus has five different types; infection with one type usually gives lifelong immunity to that type, but only short-term immunity to the others. Subsequent infection with a different type increases the risk of severe complications." Sounds like you really don't want to catch it a second time. |
