Yes, it is possible to get reinfected with the same pathogen while already infected, although it is generally less common. This can occur if the pathogen has different strains or variants that the immune system does not recognize. In some cases, the immune response from the first infection may not provide complete protection against subsequent infections. However, the specifics can vary depending on the pathogen and individual immune responses.
