Yes. It is possible to get dengue more than once.
THE dengue is viral disease transmitted by the Aedes mosquito. Currently there are 4 different types of dengue virus (DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3 and DEN-4).
When a person becomes infected with a type of virus, immune to this virus for the rest of the life, not being infected again by the same virus. However, the person may acquire dengue with a other type of virus and thus presenting disease again.
An infection of the dengue for the second time may be, in some cases, more serious, causing the person's immune system to react in a Hemorrhagic Dengue.
Dengue can be prevented with measures of mosquito control, use of screens, musketeers, insecticides and repellents, as well as adequate sanitation, avoiding standing water.
