After a primary dengue infection, immunity typically lasts for several months to a few years, but it is not lifelong. While the body develops antibodies that provide some protection against the same serotype of the virus, this immunity does not extend to other dengue serotypes. Subsequent infections with different serotypes can lead to more severe forms of the disease, such as dengue hemorrhagic fever. Therefore, it is important to remain cautious even after recovering from a primary infection.
What else can I help you with?
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.
How long can a staph infection live dormant in the body?
Forever. It is in the hair, skin, and who knows what else. When our immune systems get weak, or we somehow get it into our bloodstreams, it becomes a staph infection.
How long after being exposed to a viral infection will it show up?

How does your body reacts to infection?
When your body detects an infection, the immune system responds by releasing white blood cells to fight off the invading pathogens. This can lead to symptoms like fever, inflammation, and fatigue as your body works to eliminate the infection and restore balance. Over time, the immune response typically leads to the formation of antibodies, providing long-term protection against future infections.

What purpose do memory B and T cells serve?
Memory immune B cells are important in the secondary immune response - a process which has adapted to confer continued protection to the body from previously encountered pathogens or other invading substances. Memory B cells are the reason why we do not get the same infection twice. In a healthy individual, one infection is enough to stimulate the memory B cells to produce anitbodies to counteract the pathogen (or antigen). Upon concomitant infection, the body is already 'trained' to combat the infection. This is why memory B calls are so important to the proper functioning of the immune system.
