Are you immune to dengue fever if you have had it once?

The short answer is: Yes, and often the 2nd time around the dengue will be more severe. The long answer is: There are 4 general types of dengue fever - these are called serotypes. Once 1 serotype of dengue has been contracted, limited immunity to this serotype is generated. However, if a person who has contracted dengue once, gets re-infected with a different serotype, this will often increase the severity of the disease and increase the chances of developing the much much more severe dengue hemorrhagic fever. Also, dengue is notorious for being generally more severe in children.

What's Dengue?

Dengue is a viral infection caused by the dengue virus. This virus is primarily transmitted through the bites of infected female mosquitoes. The virus belongs to the Flaviviridae family and has four distinct serotypes: DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, and DEN-4. Dengue can come along with a wide range of symptoms, from mild fever to severe forms of the disease, including dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS), while severe dengue can be life-threatening.
