Dengue Happens Twice: Can dengue recur once it is cured? After summer, the havoc of dengue increases with the rains. Dengue is a serious disease in which there is continuous fever. Dengue has some common symptoms. That is why dengue is called bone fever. Dengue is treated in the hospital but some such cases of dengue have also been seen in which the patient even dies. If someone gets dengue once, can he get it again? This question is often asked.
Can dengue occur again?
Dengue is a special kind of virus. It can happen to a person again and again. It is not necessary that if someone gets it once, it will not happen again. Any person can get infected by the bite of the dengue mosquito Aedes aegypti. The chances of getting infected with dengue again are in those people who live in areas with more forests and vegetation.
It can take a serious form after getting dengue again
According to the doctor, if a person gets dengue for the second time, it can take a serious form. Therefore, if you have already had dengue once, try not to get it a second time. After surviving dengue once, the body’s immunity becomes strong due to which you will remain safe from dengue for some time. But there is no evidence that after suffering from dengue once, it cannot happen again.
According to the WHO report, there are four strains of dengue. However, all four serotypes are antigenically similar. After getting infected with any one of them, cross-protection can be obtained only for a few months. According to health experts, if you get infected with dengue for the second time due to another serotype, then it can be more dangerous. Every subsequent infection of dengue can be more serious.
